Happy Perihelion Day 
 The Sun is at its biggest today. In case you hadn't noticed.
 
Tech support question 
 We have a school here that's trying to publish a calendar on the Web using iCal on a Net-connected OS X box. Also to subscribe to some student family member calendars. They have a new .Mac account, which seems to be required. But for some reason the program subscribes selectively and won't publish.
 For example, it doesn't seem to have trouble subscribing to these calendars here, but it won't subscribe to calendars published by other ordinary folks with iCals publishing their own calendars. Or so it seems. You can put the URL in the subscribe form under Calendar : Subscribe , but the Subscribe button stays gray. And when one goes to Publish, nothing happens. The command is inoperative.
 Any ideas are welcome. I'll pass them along. Thanks.
 [Later...] Okay, thanks to Brian Hess, who made these recommendations here, the problem is solved. Amazing. Thanks, Brian!
 
Blogrolling 
 Thanks to Michael Hall for pointing us (twice now) to Mark Lieberman's Language Log. One excerpt from a recent post:
 You can make any public figure sound like a boob, if you record everything he says and set hundreds of hostile observers to combing the transcripts for disfluencies, malapropisms, word formation errors and examples of non-standard pronunciation or usage. It's even easier if the critics use anecdotes based on the perceptions and verbal memories of equally hostile listeners.

The only solution I know to the grayed-out subscribe and/or publish button is to move two files to the Trash:

1. /Applications/iCal (yes, the iCal application) 2. /Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist

Empty the trash, re-install iCal (a free, 6.1MB download from Apple) and all should be right in the shared calendar world again.
