Got some school classes or meeting schedules that occur on a bunch of different dates that don’t fit a repeating pattern?  We have a new tool for you: the Date Picker.  Open the “Detailed Entry” form (near the One Box) and you can see we changed the way you select dates for an event, and added a new Date Picker option.

As always, let us know what you think!

A nice new little feature that has been requested many times: a daily summary of your events emailed to you every day.  You have the option of having the email sent to you only when you have events, or when you or any of your buddies have events on a given day.

You can give it a try by turning it on in your settings.

I stumbled upon Sylvain’s 30B fluid icon on Flickr and discovered that Fluid is a great tool for Mac OSX Leopard to create a stand alone instance of a website (like 30 Boxes!) as an application.

30 Boxes can be launched from your dock and performance seems normal except for the scroll wheel which doesn’t seem to behave the same way.  You can download this graphic if you want to have the 30B logo as the app icon.

We will be moving and upgrading during the next few days. Please expect some intermittent downtime as well as a few kinks on the other side. We appreciate your patience (and help if you find bugs!)

We will be doing status updates via twitter/30boxes.

Update — we are targeting downtime either tonight (Tuesday) or tomorrow (Wednesday) morning.

Update — we are up and running at Verio.  There will be bugs and issues that may take a couple of days to work out completely.  If you see anything odd, please post in the forum.

We are going to take the uncharacteristic step of congratulating ourselves on this one. A relatively full functioning version of 30 Boxes Calendar is now up for iPhone — available at http://i.30boxes.com

The design is inspired by Apple but we took the functionality up a couple notches.

The good:

• after the initial load, it is very snappy even on EDGE
• one box!
• easy to use and pretty
• all of your web stuff as well as the latest on your buddies with a news feed
• your friends latest upcoming events from inside 30 Boxes and out on the web

The could be better:

• initial load time on EDGE
• can’t edit repeating options (too much of a pain on first pass)
• it is a first release so tell us about bugs in the forum
• ok, that’s not so bad

Spread the word. We’re back and with multiple projects in the works.
