The Google Mac blog talks about accessing various Google APIs from Cocoa, including the Google Calendar API.

Cringing at the thought of sending OSAF-wide email

September 18th, 2006 2 Comments »
I was replying to mail Priscilla sent about the OSAF wikis and a few times I thought about just closing my email and forgetting it - it was mostly a negative, griping message.

I stopped myself from closing the mail because I kept remembering that this was my “ofice chatter” bandwidth, and I need to keep it flowing.

  1. My ability to chat with people at work is limited, so I push myself to send mail/instant messages/IRC comments more often.
  2. However, I’m keenly aware of people’s time and avoid consumption of it if possible.
These two ideas are at odds, but because I work remotely, I need to pay more attention to the former than the latter.

It is better to be a bit of an online windbag than to be an isolated techno-hermit.

Chandler mentions

I am listening to episode 29 of the Inside the Net podcast and the topic of the episode is “Calendar Swamp”, which is the name of a website run by Scott Mace.

Chandler is mentioned 4 minutes and 11 seconds in.
