Magic Google Calendar CalDAV fix
Yesterday I wrote about only being able to use my main calendar with Google Calendar's CalDAV. Today I was searching and found a post by one of the authors of Calabaration (Google's tool for adding calendars to iCal) about a preference that says "Enable read-only calendars". I enabled this and presto, everything now works. I know that one of the calendars I added I don't have write permissions to, so I simply don't modify it.

Google Calendar's CalDAV Support
Today, Google announced better CalDAV support which is excellent, but there is a huge issue with Google Apps for Domains. The CalDAV support only works for calendars for which you are the owner; Google Apps for Domains only has the owner specified for the Default domain. Any additional calendars you create don't have the owner set so you can't use them. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I've spent a few hours trying to figure this out and have gotten no where. Well, at least I can use CalDAV for one calendar (I tried this with my Gmail account and it works fine).

AppleTV and Boxee
I got an invite to Boxee the other day and just got around to installing it on my AppleTV which went pretty smoothly. It seems interesting, but haven't had much time to play around with it. I took the opportunity to use ATV USB Creator to install it instead of the old Patchstick I used before. I had to re-install part of my SqueezeCenter software after upgrading to AppleTV 2.3, but I'll document that in another post when I get a chance. I think that installing the SqueezeCenter software with the ATV USB Creator will be much easier as it installs SSH 2 instead of SSH 1 so I'll be able to use Transmit to upload files and use BBEdit's SFTP feature to edit files.

Something wrong with this?
Yesterday we took a walk up the street to the shopping center to goto my mailbox at the UPS Store. As we walked up, we passed the local Boy Scout troop setting up their annual Christmas tree lot. Something seems quite ironic about that to me; Christmas trees require a lot of energy to harvest, transport to lots (and then homes) and then requires energy to recycle. I picture Boy Scouts doing all that they can do to help the environment; this doesn't seem like the right way. When I was a scout, my troop collected Christmas trees for recycling.
