Racing on Rails

I have the first set of the calendar (iCal) feeds ready. If you click over to any "Events by States" page (say for British Columbia), you will be greeted with two new icons:

The first one is for the before-mentioned RSS feeds (see last post). The second one is for a iCal feed. iCal Feeds allow you to subscribe to the events on the page in your favorite calendaring program and they will refresh your calendar whenever new events are added to the website (for that state). I have currently added an icon for Apple's iCal program (since I rock a MacBook), but I will be adding Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook as soon as I get them tested.

I've used the California feed in my own calendar (so I can sync them to my iPhone) for several months, so I think they are pretty bug free. Look for more RSS, Atom and iCal feed goodness to drop later this week.

My iCal support is enabled by the iCalendar ruby gem, written by Jeff Rose.
