I was doing something much more basic ;-(

On what Homevision considers to be "work" days, I was turning on
the
telly, and switching it to display the "PC-out" channel.
(Delivered from
the study via KAT5)

In parallel with that, I was displaying "Outlook today" - type
stuff,
mainly so at a glance I could remind myself of the days schedule.

The _real_ problem I was solving was that of "going to the wrong
office,
and not realising till I arrived". Typically, I used to do this about
once a quarter... fortunately, never missed a flight ;-)


This superseded the earlier solution - phone Mary before I left work the
night before, get her to write the nmame of the office I was due to be
in on an A4 bit of paper, and put it in the middle of the hall floor...

Now superseded by the newer solution of checking my corporate Outlook
calendar on WAP as I'm on my way to the station in the morning ;-) (And
the KAT5 boxes now route the _rear_ signal informmation round the back
of the room the A/Vs in, thus dealing with the "not quite long enough
cables across floor" problem.)

Subject: [ukha_d] HV Integration with Outlook etc?

Just thinking about automating wakeup schedules etc and thought it might
be
good to be able to query an app such as Outlook to see if an event
exists on
the relevant day like 'on holiday at home'.
I guess an easier way would be to interactively set a wakeup each
evening
depending on what is to happen the next morning and at what time.

Has anyone looked at doing this/done it? Is the outlook link something
that
could be easily achived?

Ta,

Paul.
