New calendar

May 6th, 2005 · by map · 2 Comments

Thanks to my good pal Kevin, I now have a pretty cool calendar app that you can see via the Web.

Here’s how it works: Leah and/or I update our calendar here at home using Apple’s calendaring app, iCal. There are other applications you can use on other platforms, I just happen to use a Mac. The second the calendar is updated in iCal, it writes a calendar file to a folder in the directory on my computer that holds the files that you all can see on the Web. I set up a symlink that copies the content of this file to another file in a different directory that enables it to be displayed in a Web browser. It all seems to work pretty well.

I figure now everyone can keep up to date on where our family will be when, and why. You can also access the calendar from the link in the menu at right. Enjoy!
