[OSX-Users] Re: syncing home mac cal with work via ipod?

[Jules]

Note also for Exchange users.

You can now automatically publish your Exchange calendar as an webcal:// 
URL without having to jump through any hoops involving webdav servers.

The secret is that you can only do it in Outlook Web App (i.e. 
Exchange's web interface).
Select your calendar, then click on the "Share" button at the top centre 
of the page.

It will show you the URL you need to give to people, and you can select 
what level of detail is made public. Note that this doesn't yet work on 
all the different web browsers that OWA supposedly supports, so don't 
bother trying Safari for this task. :(

Perfect for sharing your calendar with other Soton non-ECS people!

Jules.
