I’ve been playing with calendars on my fresh install of SuSE Linux – experimenting with customizing Lightning<\/a> for Mozilla Thunderbird<\/a> and trying out kOrganizer.<\/a> I’ve got all of my calendars (kids here, kids at their dads, Rob’s kid, campus activities, due dates, birthdays, etc) on the home network so that I can see my events no matter which computer I’m on. Rob’s got the same thing going and we (theoretically) can try and keep track of what each of us is doing.<\/p>\n

The only calendar I hadn’t set up yet was for my menstrual cycle — currently the data for the past year is sitting in a MozBackup<\/a> file on a flash drive that I’ve misplaced. I’ve got the last two months sitting on a gmail calendar so by grabbing that and setting a customized 28-day repeat cycle I can predict approximately when I’m likely to be crampy, miserable and\/or cysty for the distant future (until of course perimenopause decides to visit). <\/p>\n

This is why it’s better to put the calendars on the network instead of saving only a local copy — I never want to go through setting this up again.<\/p>\n

The first thing I checked was how things line up with my family week-long summer vacation to the beach<\/a>. Go figure, my period is due the first day of vacation. How’s that for timing? No guarantees since it’s still a few months away, but since I’ve been pretty clockwork at 28 days for the last 2 or so years there’s a pretty good chance I’ll continue to be regular. I’m happy with my Diva cup so it’s not the need to pack supplies that annoys me, it’s the thought of packing, driving, and being on holiday — and needing copious amounts of pain medication. <\/p>\n

That said, I think this is a great application of organizer-calendars. It definitely beats counting out 28 days over and over again. I wonder if the Mozilla Foundation would like an add-on? What would it need to include?<\/p>\n
