One might legitimately ask why I still use iCal, with alternatives like Fantastical on the market. Honestly, I don’t really know why. As a matter of fact, this is probably the irrelevant little wart that pushes me over the edge:
That’s right — iCal’s reminders do not respect the 24-hour global system preference. I suppose that shouldn’t come as a surprise, since iCal itself doesn’t.
Really? That’s so odd. How can it not? Or how can it not have a 12/24-hour setting of its own?
How is by being written by a fucking software criminal. I’m a long time hater: http://semanticman.com/tag/ical/
Wow. The three-window, I’ll call it a “design choice”, just might be the thing that beats the shareware I know of with a menu tree that mind-numbingly goes Options–>Preferences–>Settings. At least that tree is hilarious. iCal is infuriating me just from your blog and I don’t even use it.
Oh, I guess I was thinking of BusyCal (http://www.busymac.com/busycal/)
It never ceases to amaze me at how buggy and incompatible all calendar and address book apps are. It is so easy to hose your contacts and getting calendars to sync across platforms misery.
I know, the state of calendaring compatibility is really miserable, too.
