Copy Before Submitting Web Forms

Filling in Web forms (like the one used to submit this tip) can be a bit of a gamble - you put in your pearls of wisdom, perhaps only to lose them all if the Web page flakes out or the browser crashes. Instead of losing all your text, "save" it by pressing Command-A to select all and then Command-C to copy the selected text to the clipboard. Do this periodically as you type and before you click Submit, and you may "save" yourself from a lot of frustration. It takes just a second to do, and the first time you need to rely on it to paste back in lost text, you'll feel smart.

A Trio of Articles about iCal Collaboration

by Joe Kissell Send Email to Author

Macworld has just published the third of three articles I wrote having to do with using the Leopard version of iCal for groups:

  • In Corral group calendars, I describe a couple of ways in which multiple people can access and even edit the same calendar using iCal. One way to do this is to connect to a CalDAV server.
  • If you use Leopard Server, it has a great CalDAV server built in. Learn how to set it up in Set up your OS X calendar server.
  • If you don't have Leopard Server, you can use an open-source version of its CalDAV software (Darwin Calendar Server), though you'll have to do without a few high-end features. See Set up a free CalDAV Server.
