You know what sucks about keeping a calendar?

On my iPhone, I prefer the native calendar application to the Google Calendar web application. On my laptop, I prefer the Google Calendar web application to iCal. I want to be able to create and edit events on the iPhone application when I’m on there, and in Google Calendar when I’m not. On top of that, I need my calendar to be published online so I can import it into my work calendar in the office, and so my housemate can see it.

So far, I’ve had to ditch Google Calendar, and just sync my iPhone with iCal, and have iCal automatically upload my calendar to a private server so my housemate and work can get to it. The problem is, I need to remember to open iCal every time I sync my iPhone, otherwise changes I’ve made on it don’t get uploaded immediately.

This is too much hassle. Like, way too much.

I’ve downloaded the trial version of BusyMac. I’m hoping to be able to use the iPhone native calendar and Google Calendar together, depending on where I’m logged in, use Google Calendar as the public version, and publish my calendar on my LAN via Bonjour.

Yep, that’s nice and simple… kinda. If it works!
