Very nice

ygor — Fri, 6 May 2011 07:00:13 -0400

I need to look into what it takes to create web pages like that.
One question: The placement of the month names seems a bit off to my eye. Guessing, I would say the string is right justified on the first first-day-of-the-week day. Is that it ?

Also, I had to un-spam your comment because of the link. You may want to check out this link regarding that: http://www.diyplanner.com/node/4965

Yes—each horizontal line

Yes—each horizontal line is supposed to represent a Sunday-Saturday calendar week.

I created the template in Apple's Pages (I can export to a Doc if that's helpful) but I may originally have generated the calendar portion using a spreadsheet.

UPDATE: My husband created a page that will generate this kind of calendar for any dates your choose, with a few formatting options (highlighting, font options, etc.) You can use it here: http://personalpages.tds.net/~richandjess/calendar.html

I think you miss the point

The form has a calender going down the left and one line per week on the right.
I took it as a challenge to see if I could do it in an OpenOffice spreadsheet.
And I dood it !

google calender?

if need be, i think a screenshot (or series of screenshots) would work.
copy, paste,crop.

I figured it out !!

ygor — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 14:46:02 -0400

I made an Open Office spreadsheet and figured out how to do it generically !
The only thing I would tweak if I could would be the placement of the month names, but it looks pretty good as it.

I attached it

It's good to be An Admin :)

Sorry! That was last year's calendar. I changed the file name to reflect that.

Template questions

ygor — Tue, 12 Apr 2011 19:12:39 -0400

There's a person over here that wants 5 or 10 years worth of this template, so I want to ask a few questions.

Each horizontal line represents a calender week, right ?

What did you use to create the template ?

Thanks for sharing.

"2011 weekly sign-up with Thursday highlighted" made some mistake.It isn't Thursday highlighted .It's Friday highlighted.

Might make certain tasks more bearable...

Hmm... I think I just realized how to make the long-undone photo-organizing (old paper photos, of course!) a lot easier!

Using Excel for the TimeLine

Schollert — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 04:00:08 -0500

I have been looking for a way to "document my past" as well. I recently stumbled upon my archive of paper calendars dating back to 1988. THAT is great fun going through!
Now I want to have that information in a more "workable" format. Some place I can easily look up events etc.

I finally decided on an Excel setup. One workbook for all timelines, one sheet for each year and - for now - brief notifications of events in the cells.
Days (1-31) are entered in column A, ascending. Months are in row one populating 12 columns (B-M).

I believe I will need to add extra sheets for special comments and use Excels Hyperlink formula to jump from a dated cell to a comment.
This will be a work in progress and a lot of decisions will have to be made as I go, but I am very curious as to how it is going to turn out. It may as well be a never-ending work as the setup will constantly be changing.

I have considered using MindManager as well but I like what I can do in Excel - for now.

I will be using some of the categories from the PDFs above as well as they trigger other thoughst. (Question: what would you put in the Life Span category?)

A word of "caution"; diving into old calendar entries trigger a lot of different memories! Quite a ride! :-)

Project-Ruled Tablet

Steve_geo1 — Sat, 8 Jan 2011 20:27:51 -0500

Pardon: I don't know where else to post this. I have seen DIY templates for Project Tracker, Project Outline, etc. But now I see project forms with Name, Date, and Project over the top. The right 2/3 page is lined. The left 1/3 page is an unlined box labeled Tasks. Can some one tell me how to usesuch a form? Just curious, because I see it a few times now.

Stunning!

I love it! I need something that will not only keep me focused on each project but tell me how much time it's taking! Thank you!

Not a great idea

My hint for anyone who wants to keep a list of apsswords is to either use a program (such as Keepassx) or if they absolutely MUST write them down, to not write down the real password, but something that will help you remember the real one. You can re-use passwords on more than one site if you can't remember the 10,000 passwords that you have accumulated up till now (who can, really...). A good way to remember your password is to pick a word (eg. password), then to add some capitals (PassWord), change some letters to numbers (PassW0rd), then add some special characters (Pas$W0rd!). Now you have a relatively secure password that is easy to remember and dificult to crack.

Hope this helps some people out.
