I wanted to give Plan another chance because a lot of people use it. It
is actually pretty cool.

It is a calendar which supports different kinds of alarms (it can for
example send emails to remind you of something). But it starts to be
very interesting because it has a daemon (netplan) which manages the
agenda.

I have a client running at home, one at work, plus PilotManager[10]
which synchronizes it with my Pilot. I can use the three clients at the
same time, get my calendar using an SSH tunnel from my laptop wherever I
am. I really like that.

Moreover, PilotManager has conduits to synchronize a lot of other
things. It can for example dump the main database as XML[11] and then
run some XSLT on it, etc.

So PilotManager + Plan is a good option. I will play with the XML stuff
soon.

It might look like I'm doing nothing, but at the cellular level I'm
really quite busy.
