It dawned on me that I could simply add the URL to my new Google calendar and receive all the important dates of my favorite operating system. If you are a tried and true Ubuntu fanboy this should certainly not be missed, so go a head an join ultimate geek-dom.

Wish you could use Gmail for your email but retain that great address…. Well you can! If you act now you too could become a member of Google’s Hosted Service plan for the astonishing price of FREE!

Apparently sometime back Google quietly started offering a hosted service for people who wish to use their services but do so under their own domain name. This entry level plan which includes several great applications is free.

For this amazing price you get chat services, email, calendar, docs and more. The great part is that it is all based off your domain! No more yourname@gmail.com. Instead it will be you@yourdomain.com.

To get started visit Google Apps For Your Domain select the business one and sign up for a free “Standard Account”.  Be warned it does take a bit of work to get it all up an running.  You will be required to change your domains MX records and create a couple of CNAMEs for ease of access.  The great part is that Google will figure out what regestrar your domain is with and give you detailed instructions for just them.

Overall it can all be setup in a couple of min.
