Since I still play this game

Got a great comment recently about my mashing google calendar and gnome post from a while back. I had tried to use the command line in the original entry and it brought lots of issues because every distribution of linux seems to place the evolution-webcal application in a different pace.

The new solution isn’t anything grand, it’s one of those so simple you hit your head afterward.

Mashing Google Calendar and GNOME update
Put the Calendar URL in the browser window

By simply copying the calendar URL into your browser address bar and prefixing it with webcal:// while removing the URLs http:// the browser will call the correct application automatically.

Here’s a form that tries to help you out »

Enter your web cal URL here:

    This is for real possible? Using Evolution on desktop, and when on the move the Google’s magnificent ui? Awesome! Simply fabulous! Just needs to have user friendlier configuration ui and/or enabled by default on Evolution :-)

    the webcal:// stuff works on windows too if you have the proper program installed (tested with outlook – not express – for interop purpose).
