Software for Officials

Why not just enter it into your Outlook or Google calendar in the first place? My Google calendar stays open in my browser all day long and as soon as I get ANYTHING, it gets entered there along with information such as partners, game fee, etc. Granted, I work an office job and can be around a computer most of the day. Within 15 mins, my Blackberry has synched with my Google calendar and I'm all up to date. If you keep it up to date, you can easily see conflicts, etc. when you go to enter the new info, and I never accept a date w/o first looking at my phone or online calendar to confirm availability.

Within my Google calendar account, I actually have three separate calendars. One for personal stuff, one for work stuff, one for reffing stuff, etc, that you can choose to show or hide. You can sync some, all, or none these individual calendars to your mobile device.

I guess I just don't see the point of reinventing the wheel. I get that some people would rather keep paper calendars, but if you're even a little bit technologically minded (especially if you have a smart phone), this in my opinion is really the way to go.

Of course, I'm always willing to listen to ideas to improve my methods. I've been using this system in one form or another for going on four years now and I have all of my info, all the way back to the very first entry I made. If you guys aren't too paranoid about "big brother Google", they make some great products.
