And now, in English

I have been for some time administrator of a free service that I have found useful in the past. I have created an unofficial Google calendar with all the games of Athletic on it. It basically serves two purposes.

1. It is updated with the actual time of the games when they are known. Before that, games are one-day events, but when times are announced, I modify them to begin at the actual time.

2. Events are updated again straight after the match with the result.

The clever bit is that Google sends updates of calendars in the form of FREE SMS´s to the mobile phones of the users that have subscribed to my calendar. This way, you will never miss a game or a result, wherever you are. Within 10 seconds of the end of each game, a message arrives to your mobile phone with the result.

How to set up the calendar:

Firstly, you need to be a Google registered user. This does not mean you need a "Gmail" account, it will work with any email address.

Go to the Google home page, click on "Sign in" (top right), then on "Register". Give as many details as you want, just ensure the email address you give is correct. Google will send you a confirmation email to it, just click on the link and you are verified.

Secondly, go to http://calendar.google.com/ and click on Setup (top right). Introduce your information, ie time zone etc, and then on the "Mobile Phone Setup" tab. Enter your mobile phone number, Google will send a code to your mobile phone. Just enter in on this page and click on "Finish setup".

Thirdly, to import my Athletic calendar, from the main calendar screen, click on Add Calendar on the left hand side menu. Choose "Add from URL" and copy-paste the following:

http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/m3561o18k2pan82a66utjo6if4%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

Then, you need to setup how you want to be receiving the messages. Go to the main screen, click on Setup / Calendars / Notifications (for Athletic Club Calendar).

The first part of this screen is how long before the beginning of the game you want to receive a reminder. My recommendation is 30 minutes by SMS.

Then, tick under SMS for new, changes and cancellations. Dont tick the last option.
