Easy iCal event creation
I've been looking for an easier way to make iCal events, without having to open iCal (eg. I'm checking Animal Collective's website and see they're playing NYC on 9/30 at Webster Hall -- I want to add to my calendar). With text2cal, I can highlight any text any where and it will parse an event and automatically add to iCal -- and it's smart enough to know that tomorrow means today's date+1.

Now, looking for a good way to share iCals without having to pay for iLife.

If you have access to a public server that can share via webdav, you can use that as a way to publish ical. Super easy, but only if you already happen to have webdav access already setup. Otherwise, check out the notmac project.

1. webdav on a public server as noted above

2. you can sync ical with google calendar and share via google calendar

3. you can fairly easily write a little applescript that uploads your calendar files to an ftp server whenever the modification date changes.

Also iLife won't help you share iCal but the upcoming OS X 10.5 does... in fact iCal is totally revamped and sharing either locally or across the net is super easy w/ it.

Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old.

I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook.

I live in Brooklyn now.
