After so many calls and reminders today Faber's service guys visited my home for Chimney cleanup. They did a good job. They've cleaned our chimney nicely. Only problem with them is that they will not turn up as promised :) It has to be cleaned for every six months. I am very bad in remembering this and do it on time.
I was thinking about how people use to remember all these. I've seen people they use to mark it in their monthly calendar. But now i am hardly seeing the paper calendars (daily sheets, monthly sheets) in the current generation houses.
It would be good if we have a small digital calendar gadget. It should be capable of adding reminders and showing the calendar details. It should be able to sync with other gadgets (mobiles, laptops, PCs etc) at home. Also it can play some music to remind some events - it can play configurable music like happy birthday song for birthday events etc.
If it can tell daily horoscope too it can attract wide range of audiences :)
Anyway now we don't have this kind of device. So i've created a reminder for next cleanup in Google calendar. Google is doing good job in integrating natural languge processing in their Google calendar. Last time when i tried this feature, i was too impressed. Today i tried to create an event like "after 6 months chimney cleanup". But it could not understand this. it has created an event called "after chimney cleanup" for the 6 months duration. Then i had to manually update this event. Understanding natural language processing is not an easy task right!
