2008 Canes Schedule for your PDA

Canes fans who like electronic calendars rejoice! I’ve uploaded the 2007-2008 Carolina Hurricanes schedule in both tab-delimited and .CSV formats.

Outlook/Palm Users:

  • Create a new sub-calendar in Outlook (Canes08, for example). Use the File | Import and Export… to import a “tab-delimited file”. This will set up the Canes schedule in your new sub-calendar where you can make whatever changes you want.
  • When you are happy with the way the subcalendar looks, change the calendar view to “Events” (instead of 7-day or 31-Day or whatever view your using). “Select All” from the list, and drag them over to your main “Calendar” (The Treo only syncs to the main calendar – time for Palm to get with the program on that one). If you want to keep your sub calendar intact, use Ctrl-drag instead of plain drag. That will create a copy of each event to the main Calendar and keep the Canes08 calendar in place. Sync your handheld to copy the events to the handheld.

One of the area’s best bands, Annuals , will be playing at The Pour House Music Hall on February 1. One year ago the buzz surrounded the band’s upcoming appearance on Late Night with Conan O’Brein, but this year’s Annual excitement concerns their upcoming second CD due in the Spring.

Celine Dion Coming to RBC Center

CelineDion She’s finished her Vegas stint and now she’s coming to Raleigh… next year . The show isn’t until January 20, 2009, but tickets are on sale now, well over a year from the show date. This has to be the most presumptuous advance ticket sale in history.
