    Sharing Calendars

    Life's becoming a bit too hairy for my liking.

    I've got my office and my wife goes to her work.

    The kids go to school. The kids finish school.

    And then all hell is let loose.

    The kids have got to the stage in life where they're going to clubs or training or at friends after school; they need picking up and ferrying; feeding; etc etc. Wifey and I have busy schedules and often struggle to get all the child care and ferrying around organised.

    I'm looking for some kind of online family calendar system. Something that brings it all together. I use MS Outlook (without Exchange) but I can make any adjustments I like 'cause it's all my equipment. Wifey is restricted to web access only (corporate rules about external access to Lotus Notes prevent anthing else).

    I've looked at "family calendar" software - Famundo, Cozi, 30 Boxes, Family Time Planner - and they just don't feel right. Perhaps there is too much of an American slant on the interface (no offence to our American cousins).

    Any suggestions at what I can look at? (without having to sign up for multiple Google Calendars! Or any Google calendars - they know too much about me already!!) I don't mind subscription services but would prefer to run software on my own servers.

    Any thoughts?

      Looks interesting Duncan..... unfortunately, the O2 site is riddled with 404 errors so I'll have to pop into an O2 shop

        Maybe not exactly what you are looking for, but Yahoo mail has a calendar function with text/email reminder capability.

        It has saved me a few times when I forgot about a Dr. appt. or when I was supposed to pick up my daughter from basketball practice.

                  I spent many months looking for something similar - even thought there are only 2 of us life can get pretty hairy at times!

                  Eventually settled on Google Calendars - se I have about 5 calendars that I use for various stuff plus Toodledo. On iPhone I use Informant which syncs with both.
