Calendar downloads?

[pc]

Hi group ..

I am looking for free calendars that I can download. I am looking for
things similar to the Dayminder, Dayrunner options.

I went to a couple of stores recently and they all wanted a minimum of
15 dollars. This seems outrageous to me. Especially because none of
them were exactly what I wanted.

Surely, there's got to be a source online for calendar printouts that
fit a variety of planner cases/holders!

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

You need to ask this on comp:alt.comp.freeware, or else check the web

Lo groupy...

Why dont you scan a blank page, get some paper of the same weight and print your own ?

If you have word processor software, you probably have a calendar in your
pre-set doobers that you can print . . . which reminds me, I was gonna do
the same thing . . .

Thanks..

I'm working in Linux now, on this computer, and I'm a total n00b. I
suppose I could fire up the MS computer and look into the word
processing part. But, with searches..I didn't find much on the web that
would fit my needs no matter what operating system I use.

It just galls me that Day Runner type inserts are so expensive.

I had hoped with my new eeepc, I would have been able to use the
Thunderbird calendar extension. This is almost like using a PDA, like
someone else suggested. But, it's not quite sufficient for me.

So, if anybody has any further ideas I'm all ears.

You likely missed the best info you were given. Move away from paper and
get a PDA. They are economical and powerful and once you use one you
will wonder why you never had one.

I know this won't work in Linux, but if I recall correctly, Time and
Chaos will let you print pages in different Daytimer-type formats, and I
think some of the PDA desktop software packages will, also.

I've been at it four or five years now.

Not what you're looking for, since there is no space to write, but you may
not have seen this: open a shell / console, type "cal" (no quotes) and
press enter. For a calendar of any year, type "cal" followed by the
desired year. Example: cal 2008.

[user@**** user]$ cal 2008
2008

The above calendar may be badly mangled by the line wrap.

Keep in mind the with the Linux command line, you can easily cut, copy,
paste and print.

Moving on to suggestions that may actually suit your needs, Google has a
calendar application:

www.google.com/calendar

Have you tried KOrganizer? It is already installed with the distro I'm
using, under Time Management in the system menu.

http://kontact.kde.org/korganizer/

How to make a custom calendar with Open Office (looks rather time
consuming to me):

http://www.linux.com/feature/122265

If none of the above suits you, it shouldn't take too long to find
something that suits your needs here:

Just look for a web page based application that lets you print. I did that
a couple of years ago when I needed a calendar with Julian dates.

I've had good luck getting nice calendars for $1 at The Dollar Tree, if
you happen to have one near you. Big squares with plenty of room to
write. Likely it is too late for this year, I'd guess they are sold out by
now.

WOW Tony!

Thanks for all the info!

I do use the calendar in Thunderbird now. That was easy pie because
I've used Thunderbird w/MS for years.

Korganizer is not included with my Xandros distro. Though I've heard
people like it.

I will archive your recommendations for later .. when I have time to
really research my options.

In the meantime, I went out and purchased vastly overpriced monthly and
daily refills for my daytimer. My company will reimburse me. But, it
still galls me.

My EEEPC is small enough to use for almost everything. And I could do
my calendar and notes right on it in Thunderbird. But, I'm not ready to
give up paper. And a PDA, as some suggested, is as expensive as my
EEEPC, but with limited capabilities.

So, when I feel more comfortable with Linux, I will play around with the
things you told me about. I'll let you [and eeeuser.com group] know
about my findings.

Thanks again..

I love this website: www.diyplanner.com
Tons of fantastic, simply elegant daytimer pages you can download and
print for free, all different sizes....also great tips....Check out
all the topics to the left side of the page....I spent about 3 hours
one night just searching and printing a bunch of templates. Then made
copies and filed extras for future use....Happy time management!
