ICal and events list

I"m hoping this is just me being dumb, but I can't find a way to generte a list of events from a specific calendar in ICal except through Spotlight. I'm thinking of using ICal calendar groups (one for "hard" and one for "soft" landscape), but I only want to do it that way if I can generate lists of events.

Does anyone know how to do that. I can only find the day, week adn month views and haven't had any luck googling it.

Thanks

Yep, as Berko said, click the bullet list icon on the bottom right of the window to get a list of events. If you want ones from just one calendar, you need to deselect the ones you don't want, by clicking in the tick box alongside those calendars in your calendar list (top left). This also unselects them for your calendar view (the main panel) and your ToDo list (the right panel, if you've clicked the pushpin icon to show a ToDo list).

I'd also be wary of putting 'soft' landscape items on your calendar: anywhere else is cool, but the calendar is sacrosanct. I do put regular 'reminders' on mine, though. For instance, my rent is due every fortnight, so I have a day-specific event that shows every second Tuesday. The day-specific ones show up at the top, which is nice.

Hope that helps.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
