I recently bought a domain for myself at bhaskarghosh.in , and created my first wordpress driven blog cum site there. I have been, since then, fighting with my wits, to stop duplicatability of efforts and naturally of posts and resources.

Ever missed events on Facebook, because there is no app that reminds you of your Facebook events? Almost all Android phones are very well integrated with Google Calendar. So if we sync up the Facebook events with Google Calendar, our problem is solved!!! Go to Facebook events Select Export events Facebook pops up a dialog where it displays an URL. Copy that URL. Now go to Google Calendar. Add a new Calendar (Select Add by URL) Paste the URL copied earlier... And BANG! All Facebook events are imported and always synced with the Google's Calendar!
