Advent Contest 12.15: Pocket Calendar (before it was more analog)

We mentioned it briefly yesterday: a pocket calendar or somewhat thicker notebook for the desk used to be a nice Christmas present, and transferring addresses, phone numbers, and appointments was a nice pastime for “between the years.” So if you are still looking for a gift a good week before the festival, you should think carefully about whether the recipient can do something with it, or whether it would be better to have a fancy iPhone case.

We still give away calendars, but the ones where the bar with the dates is not important. Who still writes appointments on a paper calendar these days? Instead, we lovingly create photo calendars with photos from last year and greetings for the coming year. Good idea, right? But it might be tight, even if you upload twelve images to the photobook service of your choice today: Christmas will be over by the time it’s printed (that’s why we raffle off Aquasoft licenses in early December, waiting for the winners ). , which was still on time).

We’ve been keeping digital calendars for a long time, but we can get as bogged down as in the days when we didn’t transfer the date from the note to the wall calendar. Because a calendar is not enough. You need a private one, one that you share with the family, a professional one that you may still have on another Apple ID, one for your circle of friends that you now see more often, one for the sports club, one… Come on, we have given up on the World Cup schedule and are looking forward to the Bundesliga again.

However, with a standard like ICS, it almost doesn’t matter which program you use to maintain a calendar, and of course you get the calendars for all purposes in one program. Then it runs on Mac, iPad, iPhone and Apple Watch, you can assign reminders to each appointment, you don’t have to remember much anymore.

Although: We always mark a date on our calendar: December 24th. It’s really not that far…

Today’s Question: In the past, long before, people didn’t really care about the date, the name of the day was more important. Who is this today, December 15?
