Will the oath stretch to putting in the right dates?

;-)

You have end date before the start date.

[James Corbett]

No, I don't! That's a bug, check the source code - both dates are 27th of April. Remember this is a beta product ;-)

Glad to see you tried it though :)

But but but....they're EVIL.

[Peter Knight]

Looks like when I click on the Calendar icon that the actual event you've entered is editable. Looking forward another spam magnet :/

Am I the only one who can't be arsed to use this stuff because I never signed up for a gmail account or can't remember my gmail login ?

[walter]

Btw peter, I like your website - nice design.

[James Corbett]

Peter the item appears editable because it's your own version of the event that you see, as far as I understand it, so that you can add it to your own calendar and change the description, etc, if you like. But you can't make a change to my version of it (unless I've accidentally setup the incorrect permissions).

Walter, yes, you're the only one who couldn't be arsed ;->

[James Corbett]

Aha! Robin Blandford has found a way around 'the bug' - by using two consecutive dates (27th and 28th) in the code the event now appears as a full day event on the 27th (go figure!).
