Beyond iCal
iCal is more than just an iApp, it’s a new standard for calendar sharing. Extend your calendaring with these free applications.
iCal will upload calendars to .Mac and WebDAV accounts, but CalendarUpload will upload iCal calendars to your FTP server. This freeware pick requires Panther.
This app does pretty much the same thing, but works on Jaguar. Calendars uploaded to web-accessible directories can be subscribed to in iCal.
This free script posts your iCal items to your blog via XML-RPC. It’s a gift from Ben and the folks at Movable Type.
This unique server-side solution parses iCal’s .ics files into a web-readable form. A great way to view your iCalendars online.
This little known Mozilla project produces an extension for Firefox/Mozilla/Thunderbird that adds an iCal-compatible calendar. Also available as a stand-alone application called Sunbird, this app/extension can read, write and sync .ics calendars via FTP or WebDAV.
With this week’s tools, you’ll be able to take your iCals far beyond the desktop, and do it for free.
