I’ve been playing around with Google Calendar these last few days, and I’ve been quite impressed. It looks good, it imported my iCal calendar without any problems (although I’ve not yet separated out my individual offline calendars into individual calendars in Google Calendar) and it has all the friendly, easy to use, twiddly bits you’d expect of a Google product.
However, it’s not entirely Mac friendly. That’s not surprising, considering how long it took it to get Google Earth out on the Mac, but this is a purely online, browser-based offering, so you’d think the Googleplex would be able to roll it out for all browsers at once (although they didn’t with Gmail).
As such, it’s not happy with Safari; not necessarily a problem, since I use Firefox by default, both on the Mac and my PC. I decided to ignore the Safari warning, though, and try it out, only to be prompted with this enormous error message. It’s so long it doesn’t even for in a standard OS X alert window, and the OK button overlays part of it.
And it you’re wondering why it took me so long to get around to typing that last, finally relevant sentence, it was because I needed to make the entry this long so that the right-aligned error box didn’t mess up the entries below. That’s how long it is.
