Google must be running out of things to do

They now have a rather nice calendar thing. To go with the recent Google Pages thing (nice, if you can't build your own website), the maps (incredibly useful), Google Earth (good way to spend a long time looking for odd things), and all the other bits they do.

I'm fairly sure it could be useful. If you want to keep track of lots of things you need to do and when, and get at them from anywhere else. But it's almost too clever, and I don't like that. So I'm trying to break it. Which isn't really that hard, what with it being a beta and everyone trying it all at once today. Quite neat the way I could type "dinner with Phil next thursday at 8pm" and it would add "dinner with Phil" at 8pm the next Thursday. But that's easy. I could work out when the next Thursday is myself. It gets confused if I wanted "Dinner with Phil on the second Friday in June". That sets up dinner for me and Phil, with someone called June. Last Friday. Who's June? Will she get annoyed if I don't turn up for dinner last Friday?

But then again, that would be very clever, and it's only a beta, so I might forgive them. And at least I've broken something. It didn't even fall over when slashdot got hold of it.
