Is there a simpler way to do this (recurrence pattern)?

Hello,
At work, I'm a member of two committees. Each committee meets every 7 workdays. Currently, the only way I've managed to get this data into iCal is to create a speadsheet in Excel to calculate it with a series of IFs. I then export this data into Entourage -- each entry goes in as a single event. From there it gets into iCal.
What I'd really like to do is forego the Excel and have 2 reccurring events (Commitee 1 mtgs. and Committee 2 mtgs.), but I can't figure out how to get iCal to do a daily recurrence (every 7 days) BUT skip weekends.
In case that makes no sense, imagine this fictional calendar:
Mon. Jan 1 - Committee 1 Mtg.
Tue. Jan 2 - Committee 2 Mtg.
Wed. Jan 10 - Committee 1 Mtg. (*7 workdays after Jan1)
Thr. Jan 11 - Committee 2 Mtg. (*7 workdays after Jan2)
Fri. Jan 19 - Committee 1 Mtg.
Mon. Jan 22 - Committee 2 Mtg.
and so on.
Regards,
JB
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Failed to metion that I've also got the Excel version to skip Civic holidays. I have the holidays in iCal already as a separate calendar. Is there a way to cross-check to ensure the meetings don't get added on those holidays (i.e. ruleset would be "repeat every 7 days, skipping over weekends and civic holidays")?
TIA

    There is currently no way to merge accounts.  The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.

    I'm not sure I would call disk authoring a 'simple' process.  Unless it's a very basic disk, or course, with but a single timeline and no menus.  But the kind of disk we're using to seeing from Hollywood is anything but simple to create, and so not so simple to explain.
    Might be time for some research.

  • I'd like to copy and paste a few Gigs worth of photos residing in iPhoto (ver. 5?) to a flash card - is there a simple way to do this w/o the issue of "duplicate" image numbers (when they are in fact unique images, but the translation is lost)... thx

    Tried doing this a few yrs ago and it was maddening, the receiving flashcard (or desktop) kept flagging duplicate image numbers and my only choice to was to delete one or replace, when - because they are unique images - I wanted all of them to be saved on disk (is there a way to auto rename to prevent this)??? Thx.

    Just tried to export photos and kept getting messages that a certain photo was corrupt or some such thing and then it stopped and did not continue with export. Frustrating as I spent hours moving ~1200 photos into 2 folders on desktop.  Tried doing a few at a time and one always stopped the entire export. Is there a way around this?  I.e., program so it exports photos that work, does not export those that are damaged?  Would be nice to know before the fact (in moving to folder) that photos have issues.  Thanks for any help - again!

  • I want to display all errors in a listbox. Is there a simple way to do this, such as a vi that takes as input: error_in, error_out, listbox and then appends the error text to the listbox if the error_out is different than error_in?

    would like to display time of occurrence and error text, so possibly a table instead of a listbox

    You can check on the alliance page for a product that does this, but there are no LabVIEW utilities to do this specific task. You will have to build one yourself it seems.

    as i don't want to have to repeat the above code within each elements action (with the fadeToggle swapping for each elements action etc)
    thanks

  • I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account.  I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

    I just got new ipad mini....I want to delete all of the music that was synced from my itunes account.  I have went through and deleted some songs one by one but some have a cloud icon with a red arrow on them.....is there a simple way just to delete them?

    Yes there is. Those songs are not actually on your iPad. They are in iCloud ready for download if you choose to do so. If you want to remove them go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Show All>Music>Off. You can also do this in Settings>Music>Show All Music>Off.

  • To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?

    To reinstall Acrobat 8 Upgrade I need to present previous versions e.g. 3 and then 4 and then 5 Upgrade every time. Is there no simpler way to validate my ownership?
    I had two laptops stolen and the reinstall is a real pain. This also applies to reformats and changeovers to Windows 7, etcetera.

    Windows 7? Then don't waste your life minutes fumbling with an Acrobat 8 - Windows 7 combination.
    If you are to be using Win 7 you'll need the current release of Acrobat (XI). "X" will function but it is no longer marketed by Adobe.
    Be well...

  • Why isn't there a simpler way to initialize a subclass with its super class

    Let me explain my doubt with an example...
    public class Parent {
    �    public String parent;
    public class Child extends Parent{
    �    public String child;
    I've an instance of Parent p. I want to construct Child c, with the data in p.
    The only way that is provided by Java language seems to be, having a constructor in Child like
    public class Child extends Parent{
    �    public String child;
    �    public Child(Parent p){
    �    �    parent = p.parent;
    �    }
    The problem with this is there is lot of redundant assignment code.
    What I don't understand is why there is not a simpler way of doing this when a subclass is after all super class data + some other data(excuse me for not looking at the bahavior part of it)
    I'm looking for something as simple as Child c = p, which I know is wrong and know the reasons too.
    Yes, we can wrap Child over Parent to do this, but it necessitates repeating all the methods in Parent.
    Why is the language writers didn't provide a simple way of doing this? I should be missing something here...I'm just searching for an explanation. May be I'm asking a dumb question, but this bugs me a lot...
    Regards,
    Kothapalli.

    To answer DrClap, I'm demanding it now :-). Let me
    not suggest something that Mr.Gosling didn't think of;
    he should be having some reasons in not providing it.Because it's essentially impossible in the general case. One of the reasons you may be extending a class is to add new invariants to the superclass.
    eg- extend java.awt.Rectangle by BoundedRectangle - extra invariant that none of its corner points may be less than 0 or more than 100 in any dimension. (The rectangle must be entirely contained in the area (0,0)-(100,100))
    What would happen if you try to create a BoundedRectangle from a rectangle representing (50,50)-(150,150)? Complete invariant breakdown, with no generic way to handle it, or even recognise it.
    Actually, BIJ and sgabie are asking for it. Provide an
    automatic copy constructor. Every object should have
    an implicit copy constructor defined. From any
    subclass, I should be able to invoke
    super(parentClass). From the subclass, we can invoke
    super(parentClass) first and then go on to initialize the
    subclass data.
    I really don't know the implementation issues of this,
    but what I'm looking for is something like this. I'm just
    curious to know the implementation issues.Implementation issue #1: Classes that should not, under any circumstane, be copied.
    * eg 1- Singleton objects. If there's an automatic copy constructor, then multiple singletons can be created, making them essentially useless. This by extension kills the Typesafe Enum pattern also.
    * eg 2- Objects with extra information, such as java.sql.Connection - if you copied this, would the copy be using the same socket connection, or would another connection be required? What happens if opening another connection, and the JDBC driver requires the password to be entered for every new connection? If the wrong password is entered, what happens to the newly creating connection?
    Implementation issue #2: Copying implementation?
    * Already mentioned by RPWithey. The only guaranteed way to perform the copy would be with a shallow copy, which may end up breaking things.
    Why can't you write the copy constructor yourself? If it's a special case, it only has to be done once. If it's a recurring case, you could write a code generation tool to write them for you, along with most of the rest of the class.

  • We set up Airprint to our Xerox machine but we have codes set up so each department has to enter their code in before they print. Airprint will not work because we have the codes. Does any one know if there is a way to override this?

    Hello there-
    Our Xerox rep helped us set up Airprint to our copier machine. We have department codes set up on our copier so when any one goes to copy or print something they need to punch their code in. Airprint will not work because we have those codes (something prints out to the copier saying error due to accounting codes being set up). Does anyone know if there is a way to override this on our ipads? Thank you!!

    Hi Nico,
    if you want a local test/development setup of Oracle why don't you just install Oracle 11gR2 XE (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/products/express-edition/downloads/index.html) ?
    If you install this you get a database, APEX (4.1), client etc all in one install, this includes a webserver (EPG) on port 8080 without having to configure anything. It's a simple next-next-next installation without much configuration.
    If you would like to seperate database and software you can always do this later when you understand the concepts of database/control files etc.
    If you would like to upgrade to APEX 4.2 you can download this afterwards and easily install this by running two scripts in SQL*Plus ( apexins.sql and apxldimg.sql ), just check the apex 4.2 installtion guid section EPG for this.
    Regards
    Bas
    b.t.w. If you're running windows 7 - 64 bits just use the 32 bits XE for windows, might get some warnings but you should be able to install and run, good enough for test/dev
