Ole Saalmann: iCalNews and tips around iCal. Brought to you by Ole SaalmannHow to move your iCal files to another folder and maybe let several people write to one calendar- October 28, 2002 iCal really wants to keep the iCal files in LibraryCalendars. If you try to replace an individual calendar with an alias or a symbolic link, it will read the calendar alright, but overwrite the aliaslink when saving. A solution to this is to create a symbolic link to the Calendars folder! Do as follows (at your own risk, don't blame me if you miss the date of the century): - Quit iCal - open Terminal.app (located in ApplicationsUtilities) - type 'cp -r LibraryCalendars LibraryCalendarsBackup'..http://blog.saalmann.de/categories/ical/2002/10/28.html#a255 iceCal for hockey fans- October 24, 2002 Celsius1414 support sent this email: Thanks much for the link to us last month; it's much appreciated! FYI, we have released an update to iceCal, the downloadable NHL season calendars for Apple's iCal. New in this version (0.3b): Easier-to-decipher descriptions (e.g., 'Los Angeles Kings Detroit Red Wings'). Artificial End Times for easier viewing. Files now more standards-compliant for use in other .ics-friendly calendar programs (e.g. Mozilla Calendar).http://blog.saalmann.de/categories/ical/2002/10/24.html#a254 Mail2iCal- October 22, 2002 Mail2iCal 1.0 is an AppleScript that allows users to export new email messages from all accounts in Mail to calendars in iCal. They can then be exported to an iPod using iSync.AppleScript Infohttp://blog.saalmann.de/categories/ical/2002/10/22.html#a253 How to view your iCal calendar from OS9 (stupid pet trick)- October 18, 2002 Here is my problem: I have a software that is certified not to work under OSX. I have to reboot in OS9. In order to be able to least check my calendar, I am publishing it to iCalX (or MyiCal), this way I can take a peek at it in my browser when someone calls asking for my time. I can't enter anything this way, but it is a suitable solution for my needs :-)http://blog.saalmann.de/categories/ical/2002/10/18.html#a252 25MB free WebDAV space (for iCal) (German language)- October 16, 2002 Das kostenlose WebDav- und iCal-Angebot von themac ist nun komplett.

You can then upload the HTML files to your webserver. This is a completely different approach compared to what php iCalendar does, but may appeal to people who are not that scriptUnix savy.

The output is that you have a single calendar with all of your original items ... they are not colour-coded for their original calendars (which I had hoped for), but use the colouring for the new "Fused" calendar. You can choose to hide this calenday from view in iCal, but may wish to use.http://blog.saalmann.de/categories/ical/2002/10/08.html#a246 (Untitled)- October 7, 2002 And Ricardo Lamego from Portugal also writes: I've just launched 3 iCal related websites that I believe will interest you.
