Freeware Pick: Calendar Magic
If you have a calendar fetish – and don’t we all? (Don’t we?) – you need to take a look at the freeware Calendar Magic. This is a date freak’s dream. I’ll list just a few of its features:
- Full year and individual month Gregorian, Afghan, Armenian, Baha’i, Bangla, Chinese, Coptic, Egyptian, Ethiopic, French Revolutionary, Hebrew, Hindu Lunisolar (3 variants), Hindu Solar, Indian National, Islamic Civil, Julian, Revised Julian, Parsi Fasli, Parsi Kadmi, Parsi Shenshai, Persian (2 variants), Sikh Nanakshahi and Vietnamese calendars.
- A month-by-month, side-by-side comparison of any two of the 23 calendar systems listed above. The display remains synchronised as you change day, month and year values in either calendar system being viewed. Again, users may choose between displaying each month with weeks starting on a Saturday, Sunday or Monday.
- “This is your life” information including day-of-the-week on which you were born, number of days you have lived, your Zodiac sign, some biorhythm data, and the day-of-the-week on which your next birthday falls. Your “Chinese age” and your date of birth in many other calendar systems are also displayed.
- Solar and lunar eclipse data for any year up to 3000.
- The ability to create, display, update and delete reminders for events (birthdays, anniversaries, meetings etc.) for “this year”, “next year” or “every year”.
- An “alarm clock” facility for defining an alarm for a given time on a given date. A user may specify the duration of the alarm which may be repeated, after a specified “quiet” time, up to five more times. A separate “stopwatch†function is also provided.
- A Pregnancy Calculator for calculating the due date of a pregnancy and other pregnancy related dates.
Yeah, that’s just a few of the features. Listing them all would be more appropriate for a book than a blog. So visit the Calendar Magic site and read up. This is a cool tool, recommended by the Freeware Guide. 2.2MB and guaranteed spyware/adware/virus free.
