And so my current project is finally unleashed - the Ajax calendar was my work, built on top of Prototype and Scriptaculous (with a few tweaks - more on that later). The backend is an ASP.Net application, for my sins. The calendar allows you to plot out all the essential tasks you’re likely to encounter in the lead up to a house move, such as informing companies and organisations of your change of address and registering to vote in your new area, on the correct date according to the day of the actual move. There’s also a facility which allows movers to request quotes from removals companies operating in their area, with requests getting sent straight to the companies via email. It’s very easy to use; you simply enter your contact details, your current and future post codes and the date you’re intending to move, and the calendar is built for you. You can also add your own custom tasks using a drag-drop “Note It”.

Note this is all very UK-specific at the moment; we’re likely to be internationalising it in the future.

I’d love any feedback or ideas for expansion here - we’re looking into opening the data via RSS and iCal, so that tasks can be included in users’ feeds or external calendar applications. Have a play around, let me know what you think!
