Greetings from the Kent Host (109995 is the ad if you have nothing better to do with your time than check out the mugshot)
Well it's like this - we have an awful time keping tabs on folk we've planned to meet with/invite for the weekend/rendezvous in carparks - y'know the scrore - and we wonder if anyone knows of a simple record-keeping system we can use on the laptop to keep track of things - somthing like an electronic rolodex - that way we'll have fewer problems staying in contact with folk whose names and contact points are scribbled on various bits of paper littered around the place at Host Towers or odd scribbles made on the back of off licence receipts jottted down in the gloom at parties -
Plus of course one would avoid the embarrasment of getting in touch twice with folk who have passd up on a get-together or vice versa
So, please, if there's an infotech whizz out there who can make life a bit more organised for us, get in touch.
Have fun all, 'n' play safe
Terry The Kent Host
Steph, m'dear

I have exactly the same problem T.... I have so much on the go, it's impossible to keep track. I put everything in my work diary so I don't forget anything..... trouble is I have more naughty things in my diary than work things, and just using the one diary means I can no longer open my diary at work at all any more
:shock:
HELP!
For my day job, I solve the 'scraps of paper' issue by sending myself e-mail instead - I have a special mail account with one of the free e-mail providers just for this - which means I've got the information in a nice cut-and-pasteable format, ready to by put in folders, printed out, etc. which I can get at securely from any PC with net access.
A nice twist is that they let you keep editing things in your 'drafts' folder indefinitely, I keep my 'to do' list there and never send it anywhere, I just keep updating it as I needed, and occasionally I cut and paste it to a wordprocessor as a backup.
Ok what about a spreadsheet? Lay it out in a calender type style. In each of the cells you can create comments (write click and add comment) and you could type contact details and notes in there. (obviously this is in Excel - not sure about others).

Have a word with Misschief about PDAs.
H the solution is obvious. Get some fuse wire , and one of those mini blow torch type lighters . then fashion a set of initials for each individual , simply heat it up and brand the penises involved avoiding any undue embarrassment in future .

Hi Hosty,
I go for one of those chepa and cheerful A-Z pocket books, and just wallop everything in under the appropriate letter.
BTW I hope I'm on there somewhere in yours and Heather's memories, as the Olypmics are now over, so I am available to go out and abou again!
