Doodle.ch: elegant, no-fuss scheduling utility gets a Facebook app

by Jay Hathaway Sep 14th 2008

Doodle.ch is a straightforward, highly-usable tool for scheduling events or making decisions with a group. It generates polls that the members of your group can use to fill in their availability for an event, or even simpler polls that let you make a list of options (What should we serve at dinner? Which movie should we see?) and see which ones work for your group members. We last wrote about Doodle two years ago, and it's gotten a lot better since then, so I thought it was time for an update

You can now export your Doodle appointments to other calendars (Outlook, Google Calendar, etc.). Some power user options have been added, like hidden polls and an ifneedbe option. The latest new feature is a Facebook application, which brings the power of Doodle into a space where a bunch of people you know probably already hang out. Now you don't even have to get people to wander over to a Doodle URL to fill out your poll. How much easier can it get?

Another Swiss scheduling tool which includes several additional tools and features and is very simple in handling.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
