A Story of Coincidence and Chance

The guest house where I stay in Haiti asked me to recommend a calendaring / scheduling tool. They have a certain number of beds, and they groups requesting a certain number of beds for a certain number of nights. Plus pick-ups at the airport, and so forth.

Usually groups fill out an (electronic) contact sheet (which it'd be great to attach to the note in the calendar). Mostly, they're using paper to keep this process running, but it's running them ragged.

What are your favourite (free / open source) calendaring tools? Any that sound helpful in this situation? Bonus points for tools that can handle sporadic intertube access.

Last night, we watched the US Presidential Debate via the CNN web site. Who knows of a source to watch Wednesday's Federal Leaders debate online?

(I'm really feeling the absence of Sister Mary Alban. I have no one to talk Canadian politics with. I can carry my own talking about the key beats of the US presidential election, but the couple that's running the place, here, know nothing about Canadian politics. I want to talk about what's going on with the NDP. They don't understand who the NDP even are. Le sigh.)
