Yes, I did that too. I love that he's got samples! Heee... maybe we can write him and ask for 2009. I know nothing about Unix. Thanks, Lisa. Yes, I did that too. I love that he’s got samples!

In the table showing sample output, I clicked the iCal link for that year, saved that as an iCal, and then imported it into my calendars. Like you, I haven't figured out how to use the program to create my own calendar and the samples only go through 2008, so I hope the software designer later adds links for 2009 and beyond!

Sigh.... I've tried re-formatting portions of the spreadsheet to make converting to csv run smoothly -- on a small portion it worked fine, and then I tried a bigger portion and it failed. If that happened with the whole spreadsheet I might as well just copy-paste everything from the spreadsheet onto the calendar. Still mulling this... I have two more days!

Feel free to NOT post all these comments. I was able to use the iCal file on the RomCal site to get the 2008 dates added to Google Calendar, but still don't know how to use the program itself to take it any further out in time. However, 2008 is good enough for me for now! Can you tell I couldn’t let this go?! Feel free to NOT post all these comments.

Like the iCalshare version, it only goes through 2007, so I hope he makes another one for 2008. Even though there are other Catholic calendars at Google that go through 2008 (and beyond), most have fewer days marked than I would like. And the one I found first also has dates for other countries, which is more than I want. I couldn't figure RomCal out or I'd make one myself!

I was thinking about setting up a calendar in Google Calendar for books, snacks, audios, etc. that we like to use on certain days every year. And I found a Catholic calendar to subscribe to via Google Calendar, but I like the one you found at iCalshare better except that it ends 12/31/07 -- wonder if the creator plans to update soon. I'm still mulling all this over, but you've sparked some ideas for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! You’ve got me brainstorming, Stef.
