How to remove GroupCal from your Macintosh
After playing with GroupCal a bit, I found that it became more of a problem with calendaring than it helped. It didn't help that since I use multiple computers if I accepted a meeting on one computer, the other computer still forced me to accept the meeting on my Macintosh. Yes, I use windows most of the time. So finally got it configured so it no longer polled my Exchange account for information, and deleted the 'work' calendar I created in iCal, but GroupCal kept running. There was no option to uninstall the Daemon. After a quick email to Snerdware I was able to get a reasonable fix. Do a find for all GroupCal files, and delete them, and reboot.
Not sure how that leaves my startup files... but its worth a shot.
The Daemon
/
Delete that folder which has 'cookies, and GroupCal Daemon in it.
The Application
/
The Preferences
/
com.snerdware.Groupcal.plist
com.snerdware.Groupcal.sources.plist
And you are then cleaned up of this application.
Fixing Outlook Calendar problem with creating new items.
The following steps helped me fix my Outlook so I could create new meetings.
Called stating the following problems.
- Creating Activities causes the following error.
"The messaging interface has returned an unknown error. If the problem persists, restart Outlook."
- Selecting a time range in the calendar, typing in a activity title "Lunch with Nancy" then pressing
"Could not save item."
- New meetings that I am invited to ARE put on the calendar in a tentative mode
- I am able to 'accept' new meetings
- I am able to modify all existing meetings on my calendard.
- Only exists on one computer
Trouble Shooting Steps
- Created new profiles
- Created Cached and Online profiles
- Deleted all profiles and .OST files
- Uninstalled Office, reinstalled Office
Resolution
Remove several files that are NOT uninstalled during uninstall/reinstall of Office 2003.
I did not have to reinstall office, I removed these files and restarted Outlook and problem was resolved.
(these are safe to delete)
C:Documents and SettingstfiskeApplication DataMicrosoftForms
- delete all files.
C:Documents and SettingstfiskeLocal SettingsApplication DataMicrosoftFORMS
- Delete FRMCACHE.DAT this is the file that did it!
In addtion, if you are troubleshooting a problem and want to completely clean out a system the following are safe to delete.
To Completely uninstall Office, delete this folder, save PST files!
Document and Settings
- Forms
- Outlook
Documents and Settings
- Extend.dat (gets corrupted also)
Hope that helps everyone else. This is a great way to clean up outlook / uninstall outlook before having someone have to rebuild their computer. 🙂
Penny Collecting takes up alot of space
Well, some of you may know that I collect coins, not any specific year... I collect in bulk at this point. I used to sort them all down to the year and mint (when I was younger and much more free time... and eyes that could see). This interesting site tells you how much space they take up... how much they weigh and how much space they take up. Given my storage unit, I would easily say I could make a 12 inch by 12 inch cube with them... which has some interesting stats.

width 12 inches, (one foot)
height 12 inches, (one foot)

Thanks goes to my buddy D for find this.
VNC for Macintosh OSX
I got tired of having to roll over to my Macintosh Laptop everytime I needed to test something for people. So I found VNC for Macintosh OSX and can now connect from my Windows machine to my Mac. In addition, others in my group can now use it for testing without having to move it from office to office.

Calendaring Project Done
Well, its been 18 months of work, but my project is finally done. Lots of lessons learned, and key was the fact that I work with REALLY GOOD AND SMART PEOPLE. So far we are 3 days into the post-migration and things are going flawlessly. I'm actually bored. Don't tell my boss.
