corporations
dear nokia,
if I want to import an .ics file into your /usr/bin/Calendar (sic!) &
you just tell me "Invalid calendar file" – that's not helpful &
reminds me of microsoft.
if you – after I fix some encoding problems & other calendaring
applications accept the file (btw: they also helped me to find these issues
by useful error messages) – still tell me "Invalid calendar file" it
gets really annoying.
if I finally find out – with trial&error – that your
calendar imitation chokes on VEVENTS that use DTSTART + DURATION because you
expect DTSTART + DTEND — then one of us hasn't understood rfc 2445.
is it only me who sees a strong negative correlation between size of
corporations & cluefulness?
update 1: seems I was rather annoyed yesterday.
update 2: that's probably maemo bug 10218.
