Sharing iCal over LAN

Another thread has a great little trick for sharing your address book over a LAN

http://www.freewaytalk.net/thread/view/25499

I just wondered is there something like that for iCal. I use iCal as my production schedule and personal calendar and wanted to put it up on my Buffalo Linkstation NAS so all 7 macs on the LAN can see iCal. I have tried the spanning sync with Google Calendars and altho it kinda works you don’t see To do or anything like that. iCal is just great.

I am sure that when you go to Apple Store and use one of their macs they have a strip up with links to information and you can view the calendar on any machine and book a time…say to see a Genius at the bar or check when their training session are that week…that is a little program that I just cant find at the mo, but that would work a treat.

Sorry about the ramble but I feel better for sharing it with you all, already

iCal in Leopard supports CalDAV, and Leopard Server has an iCal server
component. Would probably do what you want, but it’s a bit
heavyweight…

That look absolutely spot on although at $20 dollars a mac and with 7 macs…could get a tad expensive hahahahahaha

I’ve used this in the past:

And there’s some suggestions here (including in the comments):

Although it usually involves a server of some sort.
