iCal, Google blues

Posted: October 1, 2008 in internet, Mac, Technology

I’m beginning to think there’s a curse on my Calendar apps. First my iCal freezes everytime I open it and has failed to respond to every known cure – reinstalling, clearing out app support files, uninstalling sync software.  Not  the end of the world I thought, as I had my trusty Google calendar. But now even this has stopped working — it won’t let me create an event or edit anything, no matter which browser I use. As a result I have discovered that customer support at Google is virtually non-existent, you have to rely on their help groups.  So far I have been unable to find any solutions to either my Google or iCal problems so if anyone has any ideas please let you know. Thank God I have my trusty blackberry… at least for now!

Food for thought indeed …
