by Theo Van Dinter Jan. 10, 2006

Jan. 10, 2006

I happened to be poking around and found this off the main WPI page. I don't remember it coming by here yet, so ... http://www.cs.wpi.edu/News/Colloquium/20056/stallman.html -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "Leadership is a potent combination of strategy and character. But if you must be without one, be without strategy." - General H. Norman Schwarzkopf

vcalendar client program
by Chuck Anderson Jan. 7, 2006

Jan. 7, 2006

I've been using KOrganizer from the kdepim package for a couple years now to store my appointments and todo lists, but I've recently been having issues with the timezone not being applied, causing all appointment times to be shifted into the future. The Configure Time & Date option does nothing at all, and the Configure KOrganizer dialog is an Empty Page (it literally says "Empty Page" on it!). Since I'd rather not be without my calendar for long, does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement program that can read the files made by KOrganizer? I gather that it uses a standard file format called "vcalendar".
