mozilla -calendar bug

Bug 183667 – iCal and mozilla -calendar disagree on how to display the same calendar file.

iCal and mozilla -calendar disagree on how to display the same calendar file.

I found another bug in mozilla’s calendar module and it seems like a showstopper to me. Given the same .ics file (the source data used in iCal, calendar, et al) mozilla displays it completely differently than iCal or phpiCalendar (the two of them agree).

So another visit to bugzilla . . . .

Searchling v1.0

Searchling is a free, quick and unobtrusive way to access your favorite search sites in MacOS X. Once running, Searchling appears as a small icon (the ‘G’, for Google) in your menu bar alongside your other menulings. Click the icon and a small text field and two pop-up buttons will appear. Enter your search and hit return…poof, you’ve got results in your favorite web browser.

Thanks, Wade.

rfc2445 – Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Speci

There is a clear need to provide and deploy interoperable calendaring and scheduling services for the Internet. Current group scheduling and Personal Information Management (PIM) products are being extended for use across the Internet, today, in proprietary ways. This memo has been defined to provide the definition of a common format for openly exchanging calendaring and scheduling information across the Internet.

This RFC is 4 years old now, and as far as I know, only Apple’s iCal and the Mozilla calendar module support it. Ironically, the two authors are from Lotus and Microsoft, neither of which produces an RFC2445-compliant calendar application.

Interesting reading: it will be good when more of this is included in other applications.
