NEW: iCal, gCal, we-all-Cal with iCal

Do you Gcal? Think inside the 30 Boxes? Outlook (Windows) or iCal (Mac) more your speed? Take your I want Sandy calendar (and to-dos too) with you to any calendar capable of subscribing to remote calendars using the iCalendar standard.



Here's how:

1. Turn on Sandy's private iCalendar feed for your account: visit your Account settings page, select "Yes", and click the "Save" button.

2. Click the "Subscribe" link (iCal or Outlook 2007), "Download" link (Outlook 2003), or copy your private iCalendar feed's address (ready for pasting into Google Calendar, 30 Boxes, and others).

3. Visit Sandy's Calendar feeds help page for details on subscribing Google Calendar, Outlook 2003 and 2007 (Windows), iCal (Mac), and more.

Sandy's always provided an iCalendar feed of your appointments, reminders, and to-dos. Only the feed was protected by a username and password — and, so, inaccessible to calendar applications and services that don't support such authentication (we're looking at you, Google Calendar ;-).

Many of you asked if we could provide a private iCalendar feed — protected by an obscure URL packed with random letters and characters. (OK, so you asked for at least the first part of that!) And that's just what we've done.

Simple Stikkit tricks: Drag and drop an iCal event

On a whim the other night I decided to try dragging an iCal event from iCal to a new Stikkit window, and was delighted to see that it did pretty much exactly what I expected it to do: it pasted in a text version of the iCal event and, lo and behold, Stikkit noticed it too, scheduling without batting an eye.

Watch that event fly!
