iCal and Harward
So, I just downloaded iCal 1.0 from Apple. My initial impression is that I'm not so sure I want to make it part of my daily life - it's not something that can be minimized to a small part of my desktop (like Pando Calendar). With that in mind, importing user-updated calendars is kinda neat, even though it only works in IE (and not Mozilla). I'm still wondering what kind of movie "Stealing Harward" (sic) is though (import the "Movies Release Date" calendar, and check out September 13th). Not too much of a fan of the GUI between different views - the Post-It notes on week's and day's is much prettier than the faded notes on Month views, and switching between the views (for instance, to read the full note from Month view) seems slow. And so it goes.
What's even worse is this make the fatal mistake of assuming I'm only going to use this between 9 in the morning, and 7 at night. I hate when people make assumptions for the user - for this simple reason, I can't switch to Day view and see the listing of shows past the kiddie's bedtime from Apple's own "Premieres Eastern" calendar. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
UPDATE: As a zillion people have informed me, to change the 9 to 7 thing, look under "Preferences". Silly goose. Still doesn't solve all my problems, but hey, it's 1.0.
