Information plays a large part in how we work. More specifically, clarity, ease and access of information allows for better decision making, at all levels. This week, I finally got to subscribe the school's work calendars to work in sync with my iCal on my Mac and my Calendar app on my iPhone.
What I thought initially to be something rather simple about subscribing and publishing took quite a few hours of my time to sort out. As I have already have been using iCal for years and getting it synced glitchlessly on my iPhone, I want everything from the school's calendar to be under the same software. In other words, I want it simple and I want it to be all under one big calendar, without the need for me to swop around different programmes to see, make changes, sync, etc. And after scouting the internet for a solution, I finally bought BusySync to get exactly what I wanted. $30+ is a steep price to pay for a tiny programme that sits in the System Preferences. But it gets the job done beautifully, all at the background. I am very happy with it and will not want it any other way.
By the look of it, the days of the Filofax calendars are dead. Dynamic calendaring offers so much collaborative potential that can improve the quality of both our personal and working life that there is no looking back.

welcome to the world of cloud computing in 6oolge. It's a pity that these software do not seemlessly and effortlessly talk to each other across different platforms. someone should start a standard in such cloud computing utilities, very much akin to internet protocol, so that we, the prosumers (producers and consumers), will benefit.
