Calendar automation

Hi everyone

I've discovered several electronic calendar links that are very handy.  If you use an electronic calendar on your computer (e.g. iCal, Outlook, Google calendar, Sunbird, etc) you might be interested in these.

They are free 'subscriptions', which means that they will update themselves if things change (e.g. daylight savings). If you get them and don't like what you see, you can delete the subscription / link - no sweat:
Primary and Intermediate School Holidays
Secondary school holidays
NZ Public holidays
Lectionary year b / c readings

For the school dates click here to open the webpage
http://www.minedu.govt.nz/theMinistry/EducationInNewZealand/SchoolTermsAndHolidays/iCalendarTermsAndHolidays.aspx
Then read and follow the instructions

Public holiday links are here
http://www.ers.dol.govt.nz/holidays_act_2003/dates/

The lectionary subscriptions are done year by year:
You will need to find your calendar's 'subscription' section. When it asks for a URL or link, cut and paste these links there.

For the  current year use this link.
webcal://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/feeds/YearC0910.ics
For the lectionary year starting advent 1 2010 use
webcal://lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu/feeds/YearA1011.ics

In my spare time (!) I'm hoping to develop one from our lectionary, which would include the special days which we recognise.

If you have problems with these links, you could try and contact me. However I can't guarantee to be the biggest help for Windows users.
