This is cool! Spanning Sync can syncronise all your calendars on your Mac and Google Calendar. You don’t have to subscribe to your Google Calendar, now you can have two individual calendars (one on Google and on on iCal) and syncronise them when you want.
We started by deleting our subscribed calendars on iCal (because there was nothing on there that wasn’t on Google Cal). Then we syncronised blank calendars with the names we want on iCal with the Google calendars so that we had those details and now we can add and change thing at our leisure. Don’t forget to back-up your Google calendars by finding your private iCal URL and clicking on “download link location”, because Spanning Sync is still in beta.
Update: Yeah, seriously in beta, perhaps you should check it out when it works properly.
Update 2: So everything looks okay in iCal but the translation from iCal to Google is a bit wrong. My 9am-1pm lab on Tuesday turns into 12midnight-12noon Monday and Tuesday, two one hour lectures becomes 3 hours, and 12 hours, a Friday lab is on Friday and Saturday. As long as it’s correct in iCal I’m going to hide the crapped up Google one, I mainly wanted to put my timetable on my iPod anyway.
Update 3: I reset Google Calendar with the info from iCal and it seems to be okay, I synced it again after that and it mucked up so I reset it again and synced it again and now it’s fine. Like I said, it’s in beta, it will be very good soon I think.

kristarella says
Thanks Foo 😀
The Foo says
oh one more thing, i really like the bluish shade background on the main index page. you should think about putting it in the single pages too. just a suggestion.
kristarella says
I think the pages are the same… perhaps the background didn’t load properly?
The Foo says
nope, doesn’t load up on firefox 2 nor ie6… at least on my computer.
kristarella says
Ok, seriously weird. I loaded this page on browser shots it seems that the only thing IE does right is the background: browsershots.
It’s obvious in at least one shot that the screenshot was taken before the page had loaded all the images (gravatars arent there yet). It works in Camino and Firefox on my computer although not Safari, the background is only on the homepage. It also works in FF on Linux at home. I can’t find the problem 🙁 I’ve tried validating it but it’s a bit messy because the smilies plugin doesn’t validate, among other things.

Programs like these keep making things easier. Now if only they’d show up to places for us, we’d have it made!:)
