...My work's shared Google calendar is on my iGoogle page, which means I only have to have iGoogle up instead of having to flit between Google calendar and my iGoogle page. Except, it doesn't show all the different tabs we've added, just the meetings and events. So all of the timetabling, annual leave, interlibrary loans and such like don't show up on the iGoogle page. So I still have to log out and log in to see those. But I'm so glad it's done, here's a picture of it:

I'm not sure how useful Doodle will be for me, but I will certainly use it if and when I need it.

I prefer to organise these things more casually over email, especially as I usually need to liaise with the people I'm meeting to sort out when and where it's going to be anyway. Here is today's Calvin and Hobbes cartoon, it's so funny because it's so familiar:
