BusyCal

post from Daring Fireball on 13 November 2009 07:20:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Thanks to BusyMac for sponsoring this week’s DF RSS feed to promote BusyCal, their new alternative to iCal. On their web site, they say “Think of it as iCal Pro”. That’s a bold statement, but that’s exactly what BusyCal is. It does nearly everything iCal does, does it better, and adds so much more. The biggest feature is sharing calendars — both on the local network and across the Internet. BusyCal contains all the features of BusySync, which I’ve raved about for years.

BusyCal also offers: a superior event-editing interface, recurring to-dos, a list view, and it syncs with Google Calendar and the iPhone. I consider BusyCal a must-have utility.

Through 1 December 2009, DF readers can save 20 percent off BusyCal with coupon code “DARINGFIREBALL”.

Fighting Fantasy Gamebook Flowcharts

post from Daring Fireball on 13 November 2009 05:50:00 PM. © Daring Fireball

Per yesterday’s link regarding the Fighting Fantasy series of gamebooks, and my desire to see their decision trees mapped out as info-graphics, DF reader Neil E. Hobbs kindly pointed me to this collection of SVG flowcharts. Excellent.

(Note: I couldn’t get the SVG images to render properly using Safari, but they seem to render fine in Firefox. They’re enormous. For those of you using browsers other than Firefox, I’ve exported the map for the first book, The Warlock of Firetop Mountain, as a GIF file here.)

NASA Mission Finds Water on Moon

Kenneth Chang, reporting for the NYT:

The satellite, known as Lcross (pronounced L-cross), slammed into a crater near the Moon?s south pole a month ago. The impact carved out a hole 60 to 100 feet wide and kicked up at least 24 gallons of water.

?We got more than just whiff,? said Peter H. Schultz, a professor of geological sciences at Brown University and a co-investigator of the mission. ?We practically tasted it with the impact.?
