For those like me who are obsessed with thinking they can manage their time better, the new Google Calendar is a godsend. Unfortunately, like most things, you can only see whats going on when you are in the site.
To counter this, a Google Calendar Notifier extension has been created for Firefox which shows you your up-coming appointments in the status bar. You also get cute little pop-ups too!
Great for the absent minded people of this world, like me.
