We recently took a vacation to Williamsburg Virginia, which turned out quite nice. We spent a day in Colonial Williamsburg and spent most of the rest of our time there visiting with friends that live in the area. The twins performed quite well, which we were concerned about. They both did especially well in the car, which was a good surprise, but not well enough that we’re going to plan any more long trips.

The twins slept in separate cribs for the first time last night. The past few nights Jack had been moving around enough that by morning his feet were pretty close to Ivy’s head. I’m sure that if he started kicking, there would have been a very unhappy baby.

We were a little worried, but they both slept through the night as normal, so I guess we’re going to be alright.

Google released a calendar system today! First looks are pretty good. The only real problem that I’ve seen so far is that when I imported my Outlook calendar the times were all off by three hours. I don’t know if this was a problem on Google’s side, or whether Outlook exported the events incorrectly. Regardless, it was easy to change the events to the correct time, so I wasn’t too upset. If I had more than a few events, though, it would have been very disappointing.

Firefox shows the RSS icon when I’m viewing my calendar, but the live bookmark doesn’t seem to load, which I guess means it doesn’t actually publish as RSS. Which is a shame, that would be an awesome feature, assuming the privacy settings translated to the feed.

They include the ability to subscribe to a remote iCal calendar, which I tried to test with the Green Party’s calendar, but didn’t work. I’m thinking that’s a problem with the generated iCal file from the website, though, since it didn’t work in Apple’s iCal program, either.

What I’d really need for this to be usable is to be able to syncronize with my Outlook calendar, which is on our campus Exchange server, though. Maintaining multiple calendars is no fun, and I have a hard enough time keeping one straight.
