Hello compadres,
Two major issues have come up recently demanding some technical wizardry. The first issue is that on-going integration of ics files among google/calendar, hotmail, and windows live have affected more than half of you, with varying degrees of disruption to your ability to use the co-op, but also causing your blogmeister a steady stream of non-stop tinkering. Karen has been particularly hard-hit, through no fault of her own.
So I've had a bit of a re-imagination of the calendar, and I will be changing us over from Google/calendars to a simpler but more useful calendar called 30 Boxes. You will need to register with it just once. I've tested it with 5 users and it seems to work in all the email and browser configurations I can cook up, PLUS it will enable us to change our responses to a sit request from within the calendar program. In the next day or so I you will be receiving invites from 30Boxes to register; please do. If you need help with any of that process, I am happy to go around showing people how to set up their systems.
The second major change is hopefully not one that will disrupt your life at all. I've re-published the sit report form, where you log your hours, to include mixed sleeping/awake sits, and there is also an option for last-minute sit calculations. If you have recorded a sit in the last week, I have transferred that information over and you will not lose any points.
I'll be cooking up a video tutorial for the new calendar system, but I think, given that you all got it with Google/calendar and the new system is easier, that it will be unnecessary.
Thank you for your patience (again) and hopefully no more major changes will rear their ugly heads. Plus, my improvements will ultimately make all this easier for all.
Happy springtime!
Laura
