This is absolutely outstanding! My fail days are all shown on my google
calendar now, makes it more real for me and easier to plan the week rather
than waiting for the emails and panicking.

Follow the instructions, and the dates on which you are scheduled to
derail
on your Beeminder goals will show up in your Google Calendar. You can
just
see at a glance “oh, I need to exercise on or before Friday, but I
won’t be
able to do it Friday so I’d best do it on Thursday”.By a former colleague of mind and all round lovely guy Tom Parker.

Wow, genius! Though for some of us every day is a beemergency on
everything, making this possibly superfluous.There are a few
Beeminder goals where some advance warning is valuable for me (for my
personal beeminding, I mean). We actually have an obscure feature
called the Panic Threshold that you can adjust for each goal so, for
example, your blog post graph can show up at the top of your goal
gallery despite being 7 days from derailing. But this is much nicer,
or will be when you can choose which goals have their deadlines
calendared.Paul, do you know if this automatically stays up to date and if so,
how often it polls?PS: At first I thought it broke and barfed all over the page but
that’s just the ical link. You grab that URL and add it as a new
calendar in google calendar. The instructions are perfectly clear, I
was just being a typical user and didn’t read them.[repeated a version of this in the comments of Tom’s blog]

My guess would be that it polls every time you load that URL, so the
real
question is how often Google Calendar polls…–
