[Design] [D/F] - Chandler 0.6.1 & 0.7 Alpha2 in May

[Priscilla Chung]

Here is my notes on D/F-ing Chandler 0.6.1 and first impressions of  
0.7 Alpha2 for the month of May. I'll be sending D/F notes and  
updating my journal monthly.

Highlights:
    + I travelled to London, Berlin, Barcelona and Ibiza this month.  
I realized I never did change the timezone on my work computer. When  
I would calculate things (in my head) when I was deciding if I wanted  
to call in for the staff meeting, and since it was during my dinner  
time, I decided against it. So in other words, the most I might use  
time-zone for is to dial into a conference call.
    + I use month view to give people or my office an idea of when I  
might be on holiday. Or when someone else is on holiday in the  
upcoming months.
    + Started to use task lists in Chandler 0.6. Besides performance,  
it was hard for me to realize I was also viewing tasks of all the  
calendars I had selected in viewing. I create task list for myself,  
and I may send a task to Jeremy. Though rarely would I want to see  
tasks from other people.
    + Couldn't figure out how to put a due date on my tasks even  
though one of my tasks had a due date on it.
    + When I wanted to add a new item with the 'New' button at the  
tool bar, my main screen switched over to the 'All' screen and it was  
very unpleasant experience. I was lost, confused and frustrated to  
see so many items on my task list (which I thought I was on) all of a  
sudden.
    + Wish I would do things such as re-order, color code, and cross/ 
check off my task items.
    + Installed Chandler 0.7 Alpha2 and have some first impressions.  
Nothing significant that was blocking me from using the calendar,  
although some collections did time out when trying to subscribe to  
them from my home.
