TechConv

Convergence of technology is a subject my elder brother studied in the old days. Often we had conversations about where this point of convergence would be, and which platforms and so on we should use to get there. Later i found of that the key to good technology lies in communication between units. This is an area that has seen great improvements during the years, and i'm now convinced that therese no pint of convergence, but rather a euclid space of convergence. This is something that during the later years has become an ever present part of my thinking in both my main projects; the automated home #CoreHal (like Hal in 2001), and the Norgesguidene communication platform, which is part of my professional life. The latter is mainly communication on the admin side, so no need to be disappointed by the sites one-way communication.
Projects that are, of course, ment to be ever evolving (like the revolution of Trotskii) so dont expect that i ever come with a lasting solution for anything!

GCal views

I have a lot of google calendars, and find this monkeyscript very helpful! As the name says, it allows you to group several calendars and gives a one-click access to any set of calendars. My reason for posting this (as anyone coulde easyly find the script on their own) is that the setup might be a little tricky. As with any clientsidescript - we never no when the script will stop working because google has changed their pagedesign!? Anyway - to find the labels you have to view source of your google calendar page and search for the names of your calendars. syntax is like this (on mine):
..., LABELNAME, 2, CALENDARNAME, ...
except for the native (first) calender which is in the start of the
var rt_clientDispatches line, the first complex code, usually (always?) shorter than the other label names.
If a calendar is not owned by you, and a native one, you will have to get the code form the other users view source, at least that is how i get them
