People used to give me a desk top diary so I never acquired one for the PC.



Anyone care to recommend something that will work in Firefox and be happy on W7 pro 32 bit?

I don't know what you mean by "work in Firefox", but

works very well in Windows 7.

I pointed a couple of friends onto this:

And both have said they couldn't live (or run their businesses) without it and have used it daily for *years*.

Not sure it would suit you but it's local and pretty straightforward (and free).

It is very good. I had a couple of queries about it and he answered straight away - sorted. You need to dig for some of the options but it's worthwhile.

I have the rather nice Organizer on this RISC OS machine (it looks like a Filofax for us oldies) and it was certainly ported over to Windows, so should be OK even on earlier versions.

An Archimedes or a more recent platform?

I just use Google Calendar. Synchs into Thunderbird, but not completely reliably Thunderbird exporting to Google Calendar.

Not on the same Google account as Googlenewsgroups, obviously.

I'm running Organizer* on my ARM X6 - I keep a copy on my ARM Book (Pinebook) as a reserve.

+1.

I also use Keep as a little scratchpad for notes, if I think of something when I am awake in the middle of the night I can jot it down using the tablet and it is "there" on the desktop when I get into my office.

Can also be used as a shopping list, travel planner, etc. No fancy frills, it's just an electronic notepad.

Hear hear. I use Keep for multiple shopping and other lists. E.g.: Aldi, Sainsburys, local shops, CPC, RS, ... I have it on tablet (in living room mainly), phone, and in my office.

(CPC and RS because I think of little things that aren't worth ordering on thewir own, even if RS don't seem to operate a minimum order for me).

There is already a diary / calendar built into firefox.

There is also an addon for this :

Which will sync it with a google calendar, and that in turn can be linked to a phone or other calendar app if you want.

I'm trying to keep Google at arms length.

Right. I had assumed it would work through a browser. Ta.

I never had a filofax! Industry decided it didn't require my services in the '80's when they became popular.

OK. I'll try the uk.rebs.. and see how I get on.

My current wall calendar has day spaces about 10mm x 40mm!

Free is good. I'll give it a try.

You do realise you are replying to Mr Lamb don't you? ;-)

He's basically looking for a direct a replacement to his paper diary as possible and (the chances are) won't be sure why he included the mention of Firefox in the question. ;-)

Cheers, T i m

Because he wants to use it in Firefox, if that's ok with you.

If you trust Google with your data and information, I don't. It costs real money to provide these "free" services. Where does that money come from? From selling your information that's where from.
