Cool iCal candy: iCalShare offers iCalendars in over a dozen categories [MacCentral]

Took my US driving test today, pleased to report that I passed as did Alison. When I say today, I mean it took pretty much the whole day. We arrived at the DMV in Concord at 9.30am and were finally finished at 2.00pm. Concord is about an hours drive from where we live, there's a DMV much nearer but because we're aliens we had to go to the main DMV to take our test.

Most of the time at the DMV was spent waiting for an examiner to take us out on the road test. I guess we should be grateful that we were able to take the test at all since, at one point, they told us that we couldn't take the driving test unless we had an international driving license (we just had our UK licenses with us). Let me run that by you again - you can't take the driving test unless you already have a license. In my mind that kind of defeats the purpose of taking the test. Anyway after a bit of reasoning and much consultation behind the scenes they finally agreed that we could take the test and so off we toddled to wait in a new queue for the sole driving examiner to get round to us.

One more 'thing to get done' ticked off the list.
