[Closed] online shared calendars

google calendar.....

DrP

Yep. +1.

I looked into this at length a while back, and Google Calendar(s) is the One True Way.

Google. Syncs to anything you care to mention.

google calendar +1 - create an account for the house and start a calendar for it.

if you use google calendar yourself then when you plan to go there you could just invite the house to come too and it will populate the calendar 🙂

As above - my lifeline!

My family is one step shy of board meetings....
We've got my social, my work, wife's work, and little'uns nursery all on our calendars!

I seem to share DrP life, god knows how we managed with the poxy A3 family wall calander.

What I'd really like is a electronic wall calendar that syncs with gmail. Is there such a thing?

ipad?

edit: or the o2 joggler - if it still exists?

Have an iPad that would be an expensive calendar, could I somehow use an old monitor?

well, yeah, but you'll need something to 'drive' it.

sounds like a job for raspberry pi, if you have the skillz.

however, for the amount of time you'd have invest, an ipad would almost certainly work out cheaper and would have a nicer (touch) interface 🙂

bruneep - any cheap android tablet woudl do it. Even the crappy jerky ones. Just keep it clean of all but the bare necessesity apps and put some self adhesive velcro on it and the fridge and viola! a fridge mounted syncing calendar!

Stoner I'm liking that idea.

sorry, i was being a bit too specific... i was saying 'ipad' like I say 'hoover'.

Any old tablet would be grand 🙂

some around £35-40 BIN on eBay
or plenty of auctioned ones going for less.
The early gen ones were pretty rubbish so most early adopters have moved up recently (me included, gave mine away)

EDIT Before you get one though, you need to check that it will sync with google calendar/run Google Play store or has a google calendar apk file available for it.

IIRC there is a fridge (? Brand ? model) that had 'a tablet' built into the door for this exact function!!!

Or just, y'know, keep your iPad next to your fridge?

It's not like it takes a huge amount of time to wake it up and look at the calendar.

Not sure as I'd want several hundreds of pounds worth of electrical gadgetry in a kitchen full of liquids, steam, oils, etc etc.

Mine has two homes when not in use - either sat on the kitchen worksurface (on its end, plugged into the charger) or stuck down the side of the sofa.
