      Ah yes, good spot sir. Now corrected.

    Great idea John. I’m a huge advocate of subscribable calendars (I recommend reading Scott Adams’ thoughts on the matter: http://dilbert.com/blog/entry/calendar_as_filter/) so am delighted to see you do this.
    I’ve tried a similar initiative myself in the past except slightly different because I wanted to empower other people to keep it updated – unfortunately that didn’t happen. I guess having a curator is the only way to ensure it is up to date.

    Can I make one request? I don’t use Google Calendar however that doesn’t mean I can’t use this. Every Google Calendar is exposed in iCalendar format which means that I can subscribe to it in my calendar – please could you edit this post with the iCalendar link (I don’t know how to find this link in Google Calendar but I’m sure its not difficult)?

    Thanks
    Jamie

      Thanks Jamie. Indeed keeping something like this up to date is a balance between time and the dullness factor :-) My aim is to keep it simple by populating solely the essential details. If folks wish to customize, add more detail or specifics for their events then they certainly can do (a few User Group leaders have requested/been granted access to do so already).

      That’s a great suggestion! I’ve updated the page to include the details for the various consumable formats for this Calendar, including ICAL. Let me know how you get on sir.

        Yup, I’m subscribed (in Hotmail Calendar) and it filtered straight through to my phone. Love technology that is simple and works! Thanks.

          Nice one! Ha I’m almost surprised when things do work first time. Being a cynical Brit and working in technology, a brilliant albeit dangerous combination :-)
