MyGoogleCal2 no longer works 100% in Internet Explorer. A runtime error occurs when navigating month-to-month or when switching to Agenda mode. The workaround is to simply hide the navigation interface. Now, I don’t know if this bug was introduced when Google updated the code last month, or if it’s always been there and I just never noticed. In any case, the runtime error occurs when //"+a.host+"/calendar is replaced by //www.google.com/calendar. Given the poor debugging available in IE, I didn’t get very far with figuring out why IE breaks. I suspect that when IE makes an XmlHttpRequest, it’s double checking that the request URL matches up with the server host, or something to that effect. Since Google obfuscates the Javascript code, it’s just way too hard to try and fix it. Instead, I’ve opted to create a new version of MyGoogleCal that uses the original technique for IE but uses the technique from MyGoogleCal2 for all other browsers.
If you’ve been keeping up with the US Democratic primary, you’ve probably heard what a piss-poor job ABC did conducting the Pennsylvania debate. It sometimes floors me that Jon Stewart et al. often give more credible news and commentary than the major news outlets. One of the more bothersome bits to come out of the debate was ABC handpicking Nash McCabe for a voter question. It wasn’t so much her obvious bias that bothered me; another voter could always be interviewed to provide a counterpoint (not that ABC did). What bothered me was that her vote comes down to whether or not a candidate is willing to wear a lapel pin of the American flag. Some may think big deal, until you realize that she’s probably not alone in how she makes political decisions. That somehow one’s appearance is a reflection of one’s performance. That one’s patriotism is measured by how often you’re willing to display the flag. That somehow symbols are greater than words and actions. (A Digg commenter aptly referenced the scene from Office Space where Joanna quits because her manager hounds her about wearing flair despite being a productive employee.) It’s really depressing to think that people do make important decisions based on such trivial criteria. Just another example of why the US education system needs improvement.
One of my readers asked for a step-by-step set of instructions to install MyGoogleCal2.php. My original posts for restyling Google Calendar did assume a certain level of expertise. This should hopefully help those who are still confused.
