If you are a movie buff like me and uses post-it notes on your laptop to help your failing memory, read on.
I stumbled on this Yahoo Movies Showtime widget while surfing the Yahoo (Sg) Movies website. It's a handy widget to have as I no longer have to surf to Yahoo's movie page to check out the showtimes. I am not sure how accurate the reflection of the showtimes are (I have a sneaking suspicion that it does not work as well for Shaw theatres but I have another solution for that later) but at the very least, it gives me a generic idea of the cinemas that are screening the shows.
For the first time, Shaw actually beat the rest of the cinemas (or maybe it is just my ignorance as I don't purchase tickets from the other cinemas) in creating a RSS feed for its shows. For those of us who own a PDA or a smartphone which we can either sync or connect via wifi to get the connection, it can be handy especially on those days when you suddenly feel like catching a show. It's a very useful feed for me as I usually catch my shows at Lido. If you are a fellow Lido-fan like me, this should also serve you well.
Last but not least is an utility tool that I cannot do without these days. I used to post Post-it Notes (literally the 3M product with the yellow background) on my desktop to remind me of tasks that I need to KIV. I stumbled on JC Sticky Deluxe which beats Post-It Notes. Not only will it not cause any conflict with Windows Vista (I suspect Post-it Notes did some stuff to my laptop when I first installed it and caused me a few days of grief in righting my system), it is also far more customable (very important for PJ who needs her notes in a particular colour using a particular font). My memory has never been good and what with the pregnancy, the sticky notes have really been useful in helping me keep track of my tasks.
Do check these out if they are useful to you.
