Baha’i calendar - Mac only!

by Barney

This is an exclusive offer. It excludes all those haven’t yet made the switch to Apple Mac™ .

If you go to the website of the Arlington, Virginia, Baha’i community, you will find a link in the sidebar on the right-hand side of the front page that downloads a calendar with the dates of all the Baha’i Feasts and Holy Days in .ics format. If you have iCal or other application that uses .ics, you can load it directly into your calendar - as I have just done.

By the way, this is not the calendar of events for the Arlington Baha’i community. It is the official calendar of the Baha’i Faith.

Thanks so much for this useful link, Barney! Come on everybody, get on to MAC.

Jim … wait! You mean not everyone is on Mac??!! I have to say that after years of using Macs as creative tools, a friend asked me to help him do something on his Dell laptop with Windows. I found Windows to be astonishingly overly complicated … so I told him to just get a Mac and enjoy live more.

I’m a veteran on the Mac scene. I bought my first Mac in November (you see, I can even remember the month) 1987 in Oxford. The guy who was selling Macs didn’t try to “sell” me anything. He just left me to play with a couple of Macs - and the Mac sold itself.

Hi Barney,
I’m pretty sure there are Windoze applications that can read iCal format. At anyrate, Google Calendar can import and read the iCal files. There is already a Google Baha’i calendar available, but this one seems to be more complete in that includes the starts of the month as well as the Holy Days.

Hi, Umm Yasmin, you are quite right. The iCal format can be read by applications on both Mac and Windoze platforms - as well as on Google Calendars, as you say. I sync my calendars between iCal and Google Calendars using a neat PrefPane called BusySync.

I agree about the completeness of this iCal Baha’i calendar. It is certainly very useful.

I’ve just successfully uploaded this to my Google Calendar, so now I will know which feasts I am missing!
