iSync & iBlog
Description:
Well Apple released iSync. It has great potential, but is
the beta it claims to be. I was able to get everything to work (sans phone
which I don' have) . I'd love to see iSync have the capability of syncing
mail across Macs and preferences across Macs.
It also needs to tweak Palm sync so that each Palm category becomes a separate
calendar. Right now it just creates a single calendar...not very useful.
No notes or memos either.
Well iBlog will have to undergo a name change. It seems there's a couple
of "iBlog" applications out already. Stay tuned...

Test of iCal as a blogger
Description:
This is my attempt to use Apple's new iCal application as
a simple blogging utility.
I'm assuming that with this I can publish a blog-like set of information
using onlly the iCal application (and .mac).
True, the generated formatting isn't in blog standard "template" format,
but this is cheap and efficient.
Maybe later I'll figure out how to publish into a template...

vCal Exploder
--------------------
v1.00
©2002 VisualNewt Software
Freeware

vCal Exploder is a quick and dirty utility for use with PalmDesktop 4.0 and
iCal 1.0. It's meant as a stop-gap until iSync comes out for people who want
to migrate (not sync) from PalmDesktop to iCal.
vCal Exploder is used to:
- Generate multiple vCal files from a single input vCal file based on Palm
category.
- Allows you to specify how long "infinitely" repeating events should actually
repeat. When you export a vCAL from PalmDesktop, it assumes only 2 occurrences.
- Clean up "all day events" which normally import into iCal as entries where
the end date is prior to the start date (marked as an "X" on a date boundary.
To use:
1 - Export your Palm calendar entries using vCal format.
2 - Launch vCal Exploder.
3 - Click on the Scan For Categories button and select the vCal file you
created in step 1.
4 - vCal Exploder will build a list of Palm Categories found in your original
file.
5 - Specify how many iterations "infinitely recurring" events should occur
using the up/down tiny arrows. PalmDesktop and iCal assume only two iterations
on export and import. This allows you to override things like birthdays,
etc. which occur for more than 2 years, etc.
6 - Select the categories you want to import into iCal. vCal Exploder assumes
you want to export all categories, and preselects all of them.
7 - Click the Export button.
8 - vCal Exploder will generate a separate vCal file for each category selected.
The name of the file will be the category. The file(s) generated will be
in the same folder as the original input file.
9 - Import each generated vCal file separately into individual calendars
in iCal.
That's it.
