11th September 2000
Coming from the "Just Another Reason" department, Lockergnomie Joe Rude found an easy way to share your Outlook 2000 schedule with everybody online. "Where are you going to be this Saturday?" I don't know. "When's your lunch with so-and-so?" I don't know. "Who will be..." Ugh. Enough of this. I'm exporting my calendar to an HTML file and uploading it to the Web. All I have to do is flip to the calendar folder, select SAVE AS WEB PAGE in the FILE menu, tweak a few options, then... whatever. If I make the URL public, anybody can know what I'll be up to in the coming days. If I send the output as an attachment via e-mail, then only the recipient will know. Both families and business travelers have to love this feature; no matter where or who you are, you can be connected to a common schedule of events. Honestly, I didn't realize Outlook 2000 could do this until Joe pointed it out to me. Thanks!
