I apologise from the outset, but this is going to be one of those posts that not everyone understands. If you’re not technical, or if your diary is still entirely paper based, look away now.
Neil McGovern, a Cambridge City councillor, has grepped the conference directory so that you don’t have to. He’s written a program that scrapes the information about the training and fringe events (including LDV’s fringe fiesta) and plugs them into a Google Calendar.
This means that if you use GCal yourself, you can import all those events into your diary – and from there, straight into your PDA or phone.
If you don’t use Gcal, there are feeds available that work with pretty much any online diary system, including HTML and ICAL.
Here are the handy links. Good luck!

But the Google calendar does not work 🙁
If you go to FringeList.com you will see a more user friendly Fringe guide that configures for iPhones, Blackberries and integrates with Facebook. Most handy of all, it sends you a text reminder for the events you have registered to attend. Handy if you are forgetful or hungover.
Huzzah for Neil! ics files nicely imported into my Outlook calendar and thence to my BlackBerry.
Are you feeling OK, Alex? You are talking in a very odd way.
