What are your issues with calendar like Google Calendar or the built in iCal of OSX/iPhone?

You can associate a date with a job opportunity's next action, then subscribe to the ical feed of all your next actions.

Submit your URL to an iCal/Gcal and I scrape it on a daily cron.

* You can subscribe to an ical feed of your next actions, which you can't do with a spreadsheet.

Admittedly it does require more effort - and a little googling - when the clocks change; and I have definitely had issues with misunderstandings between iCal and Outlook over what timezone a meeting is in...

So you are not limited to relying on Google for updates, just set up synching with any service or application that supports iCal and configure that application to give you alerts.

Some feedback now I've tried it out (for just a few minutes) The lack of "double-click to add an entry <here>" is unintuitive - I've got very used to that action in iCal/Calendar.
