publish your iCal

if you want to be able to publish your iCal calendar, all you need is a static ip (or a free service like dyndns) and your own mac. no need for fancy-pants web hosting. check it out. that way, people can subscribe to your calendar and have it appear on their iCal or Mozilla Calendar.

dont forget about PHP iCalendar for the fancy web front..
to set it up:

• just download it
• move the unzipped folder to /Library/WebServer/Documents/
• sudo su -
cd /Library/WebServer/Documents/
ln -s phpicalendar-0.9.5/ ical (just to make it easier on the eyes)
  
• in config.inc.php i made the changes:
  $calendar_path = '/www/DAV/'; (or wherever your webdav share is mounted).
  and $download_uri = 'http://smcghee.caed.calpoly.edu/DAV'; to allow the "download" and "subscribe" buttons to work.

there is also a way to publish iCals to this program without even setting up WebDAV, but i already set it up, and anyways, whats the fun then?
