Morning all,

On my Mac at home I use an app called GeekTool which allows me to use shell commands to generate output, this output is the embedded onto my Desktop. I have three calendars on my Desktop using this, last month, this month, and next month (handy for looking back a week or two at the beginning of the current month, and forward at the end).

Now, I really miss this at work. I have admin rights on the work PC and can install anything I like (I've been told!). Does anyone know how to do this? The closest I've found so far is Desktop Calendar by Glenn's Eclectic Freeware, but it does reminders and crap that I don't want/need and it doesn't do the +/- one month. I've included a screenshot of it below, and it's sort of in the style that I want (simple text).

thanks very much for any suggestions,

Ben

Which version are you running?

If you have 7 then there is a sidebar calendar gadget available.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
