Simply sign up and meld the information with your hosting account and voila. I thought it was ridiculous. It looked like someone added spammy toys to my paid hosting.This calendar application looks like one of those toys most people will play with for a while, then loose intrest, oh wait.. that's just how people are.

There have been lots of times over the years I wanted to know what day of the week a date (past or future) fell on, and I've always had to fire up putty or some other terminal program and get it from my unix shell. Would love to have such a feature generally available in Google. Failing that, maybe I'll try this.

I just double-click on DQSD and it displays the current month, and I can tab through the months or years within the popup calendar. It also defaults to using Google as the native search engine (though it supports more than 400 others with a very simple command-line style syntax), so I don't feel tied to any specific search engine, if Google doesn't work out.Check it out: http://www.dqsd.net/ Seems like an awful lot of work just to get ‘faster access’ to a calendar.
