@MitchW it was .. and I shared it with others .. can’t even find those shares.

FFS .. how far over are we going to bend for this MoFo. Today was the deadline and suddenly some court says tell you what .. can you come up with 175? Sure .. I can do that, not right now .. give me 10 more days? And bugger me .. that’s what they agreed to.

Who else anywhere .. ever .. has been granted anything like this kind of flexibility?

OK - this is weird.

This thread had a reply in yesterday from someone - I cant recall who that said BUT BUSYCAL does do all this.

Then I replied saying it USED to - but then it didn’t - because 🍎 was their explanation.

But - maybe it has changed - that I would go take a closer look and come back and report accordingly.

*This is that report * ... BUT those two comments seem to have disappeared from this thread. (@manton ?).

Anyway - here is my hot take on what is going on.

BusyCal does indeed seem to have enabled the 'view apple reminders in the calendar ... so far so good.

AND - I can drag those reminders into the calendar view - and so they sit - BUT only essentially as a reminder.

What it doesn’t do - which is what I am liking about the newly discovered calendar is

In reminder view, I can allocate a duration - eg

  • read this article - duration 15 minutes

  • rebanp the deck - duration 3 hours

  • triage last weeks email - duration 30 minutes

etc etc

Now when i drag that reminder into the calendar - the requisite amount of time has been blocked out in the calendar - even when i now view it in Apple Calendar and BusyCal

Great if you are trying to not have a giant long list of stuff and instead you are thinking about what time you have to do the tasks.

Make sense??

@MitchW i was more thnking about your recent post that of course i cant find .. a copy of a thread/tweet/bluesky .. “ the time between a cat not in the bed to having its own pillow is a lot shorter than you think.”

@herself GAH - I saw 'AIR' not iPad

Re iPad - I have a bug guy and a little guy - the big guy does what I need on processing - but that is not a lot.

You prolly need input from people like @pimoore who are ipad only.

did I imagine reading something about BusCal does that? And then I responded saying it used to - but then it didn't - and I said I would come back - and so I looked and have a reply ready - BUT - those replies don’t seem to be in here ...?
