New feature — calendar subscriptions

Sunday, April 23, 2006

You can now subscribe to the events calendar in your calendar program, so the branch socials will automatically appear in your diary (provided you don’t use a paper one, of course — we’re not that good!)

To subscribe, point your calendar program at the calendar subscription link.

iCal users, press Command-Option-S or choose Calendar > Subscribe… — then paste the link into the box and press Subscribe. You’ll be prompted to give your calendar a name, and choose how often you want it to auto-update (please don’t set it to any more frequent than once a day, or my ISP will probably do nasty things to me :)

Google Calendar users should click on the ‘+’ next to Other Calendars, paste the address into the box, and click Add then OK. (You’ll probably want to click on ‘Manage Calendars’ and give it a more useful name afterwards…)

I’m not sure how to do it in Microsoft Outlook — given that it’s not available for the Mac — but as far as I’m aware you can manually download the calendar and import it, but you can’t subscribe. I’ll have a look when I’m at work and see what I can do.

(If you’re interested, the plugin I’m using for this is Garrick Van Buren’s WP-iCal.)

New Harveys shop in Midhurst

Sunday, April 9, 2006

Good news for Harveys fans in Midhurst — the Harveys Bottle & Jug is now open, with the full bottled beer range available, as well as draught Best and a seasonal beer. It’ll make a nice change from Veuve Cliquot if you’re heading to Cowdray Park for the polo :)

Opening hours are 9:30 — 17:30 Tuesday to Saturday. It’s apparently next door to the Swan.
