MooTools target in IE

When using MooTools 1.11 the event object target property can not be read by IE. The way to correct this is to use the following…

        var target = $(e.target || e.srcElement);

Here it is with surrounding code…

 
$('elementId').addEvent('click', function(e) {
	var target = $(e.target || e.srcElement);
	if(target.checked){
		//do something here
	} else {
		//do something here
	}
});

Sharing Calendars

I have been curious for awhile about how my wife and I could share our personal calendars easily. Adding to the dilemma was the fact that I use a Microsoft Exchange Server for my scheduling and my wife uses Google Calendar.

I suspected that there was likely an easy way for us to share our calendars but I just has not taken the time to look into it.

How it is done…

In Outlook:

  1. In Outlook with your calendar selected select “Publish Online” from the ribbon bar (I’m using Outlook 2010)
  2. You will want to select Publish to Office Online
  3. I made my calendar publicly availible to anyone just to avoid any annoying permission issues.
  4. You can then select to share your calendar with others.
  5. You will be given a link that you can use in Google Calendar that will read in your calendar

Back in Google:

  1. In Google Calendar under “Other Calendars” click settings
  2. Then click “Import Calendars”
  3. Then select the Add URL tab.
  4. Copy & Paste the link you were given in Outlook into the Google Calendar area.
  5. Now your Outlook Calendar is shared to Google Calendar.

New BlackBerry Tour 9630

Just over a week ago I purchased a new cell phone. I also had to switch providers, but that is another story.

Here it is…

Blackberry Tour 9630

Until last week I had never had a “Smart Phone” so this is new experience for me.

Things I like…

  • Synchronizes with Microsoft Exchange (a big reason I purchased this in the first place)
  • Ability to tether with my laptop
  • Google Maps App
  • Will play MP4 videos
  • Wall Street Journal Reader App

Things I was slightly bummed by…

  • This particular Black Berry does not have WiFi capability.
  • The default Media Player App will not broadcast audio to a Bluetooth headset. I had hoped to listen to music on my headset while I biked back and forth from work.
  • The IHeartRadio app is not yet available for the Tour

All in all I’m quite happy with it, it exceeded most expectations but fell short in a couple others.

Site Updated! Finally

After several months of doing almost nothing with my website I actually have one.

It seems a developers or designers own website is the item at the bottom of the stack. But this is not the case for Acts Media anymore.
