Freebie Friday: iCalViewer

Picture 1-70
Dates mean little to me in terms of what I should do about them. When it's January 27 and I'm supposed to do something by February 3rd, I have a hard time visualizing what that means. To visualize, it helps to see, and for dates, I've started using a great program called iCalViewer.

The application's creator has a nice description about what the program does: "iCalViewer displays calendar events as boxes dynamically moving towards a finish line which is now. It can do this on your desktop or in a window."

The screenshot here is my desktop. (The photo is of an atoll off the coast of Aitutaki. I took it in Summer 03. Read about our island adventure here)The colored boxes are my appointments and the vertical yellow line is on the left. As events get closer, they move towards the finish line. iCalViewer has kept me out of trouble more than once.

A limited version is free, the full version costs $11. Link
