Geek Week Part I--iCal Calendars

I've gotten to play with some different software recently and wanted to dedicate this week sharing it with you.

Last month I posted that I had started playing with the iCal standard for Calenders. I still remain enthusiastic for what this can do for people and organizations. If people embrace the standard, it can be very powerful. From last post:

What's facinating is that you can run several calendars on your PC, and subscribe to others from the internet. I could have one integrated calendar that shows me my wife's schedule, my personal one, my church's, and my co-workers'. You can update and syncronize from any location, if it's posted to the web. There is even a great open source tool that displays the calendar on a website.

That post points at some possible resources I was checking out. Since then, I've set the calendar application for our church office. Next, I'm going to use it to keep a family calendar. I wrote instructions on using iCal (Word), both for the end-user to use, and the 'webservant' to set-up. Everything to do this is FREE.

Next, part II is about Firefox.
