I've dumped my very old Palm and started using iCal as my main calendar.</p> <p>But iCal itself is not good enough:</p> <ul> <li>it doesn't know how to calculate Easter. For this I have subscribed (free!) to <a href="http://www.project24.info/feiertage.php">project24</a>, which is very nice for Swiss holidays (for German and Austrian ones too).</li> <li>it doesn't show the week number. <a href="http://www.project24.info/feiertage.php">project24</a> comes to the rescue again.</li> <li>I want to print/export real lists, not just empty boxes with a date. Some calenders have less than one event per week and I wanted a list with all events. All iCal does is filling pages with empty days and once in a while a day with an event. <a href="http://babbage2.cwrl.utexas.edu/~spinuzzi/spinuzzi_drupal/?q=node/170">Clay Spinuzzi</a> mentions the <a href="http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2003/09/03/rubycocoa.html">Ruby iCal</a> <a href="http://www.infinitenil.com/developers.html">module</a>, which did the trick for me.</li> </ul> <p>What I haven't got working yet: iSync limits the calendar period that is copied to my mobile to 8 weeks and I haven't found any hidden plist entry or any other hack to fix that.</p>
