Dana's Mixed Bag

Pretty neat. It turns out that Google has a secret little flight simulator application within the new version of Google Earth. Simply install version 4.2. Look at “sky” mode, make the large view window active by clicking once upon it, then click Ctrl-Alt-A. A little pop-up should introduce you to the hidden gem. Here’s more about it.

This replacement for the Windows taskbar clock adds a pop-up calendar. Looks pretty neat.

Canes fans who like electronic calendars rejoice! I’ve uploaded the 2007-2008 Carolina Hurricanes schedule in both tab-delimited and .CSV formats.

Outlook/Palm Users:

• Create a new sub-calendar in Outlook (Canes08, for example). Use the
  File | Import and Export… to import a “tab-delimited file”. This
  will set up the Canes schedule in your new sub-calendar where you can
  make whatever changes you want.
• When you are happy with the way the subcalendar looks, change the
  calendar view to “Events” (instead of 7-day or 31-Day or whatever view
  your using). “Select All” from the list, and drag them over to your
  main “Calendar” (The Treo only syncs to the main calendar – time for
  Palm to get with the program on that one). If you want to keep your
  sub calendar intact, use Ctrl-drag instead of plain drag. That will
  create a copy of each event to the main Calendar and keep the Canes08
  calendar in place. Sync your handheld to copy the events to the
  handheld.

iCal Users:

• Used iCalTextImport to import either form of the schedule.
