Freeloader Friday Download of the Week

iShare my iCal

Productivity enthusiasts and pros herald the simple but powerful iCal. Now a seasoned Mac app, you'll find heaps of complementary freeware to enhance your calendaring experience.

CalTalk

iCal has always synced via .Mac and WebDav, but what about directly Mac-to-Mac? CalTalk accomplishes this as a lightweight application just like iTunes share's music. Run this app on both your Macs and you'll be able to browse users and select calendars to sync. Best of all there is no uploading to a server.

Event Maker

This application works as the bridge between iCal and Mail. Run it with a message selected in Mail.app and you'll be presented with options for adding the message to your calendar.

Preferences set the applications default behavior and can make for quick creation of a new event. This free app is Tiger-only.

Mail2iCal Scripts

If you prefer to turn your messages into events (or todos) directly from Mail, then this AppleScript is for you.

Scalp

Unfortunate name for a good utility. This installer will allow you to publish your calendars using SFTP/FTP rather than WebDav.

Once installed, all you have to do is substitute sftp:// for http:// in your server address in iCal.

We here at MacMerc hope you have a happy and well-planned new year. Oh, and mark of Friday's for another year of great downloads.
