Trust my rage

I have an iCal problem and I would love help figuring it out. I can't even figure out what terms to use to search for solutions.

I live in Mountain Time. I have that selected in iCal. My calendar is shared ("published") and synced via .mac. But when I schedule something for, say, 9am, it ends up getting shared as 12pm or something stupid. My iPhone obviously knows I am in Mountain Time, so I don't get what is going on.

Do you have Time Zone Enabled everywhere - phone, computer, Mobile Me website? You might have to set the Mail, Contacts, Calendars settings on your phone separately from the General time zone setting.

Nonian,

do you have the correct timezone in the .mac acct?

Make sure your ical is set correctly as well as the time on your computer.

Trust my rage

I will check mobile me. My phone seems to know where we are and I have all the timezone stuff I can find set in iCal.

I don't have an iPhone, but on the iPad there are separate Time Zone Support settings for the device (General) and Mail, Contacts, Calendars. So the phone could know your time zone but the calendar on the phone have it wrong.

Trust my rage

So, it turns out that iCal on Mobile Me had me in LA. Not sure how that happened, and it's only an hour difference, but it's a start.

I'm trying to figure out what size LED HDTV I want to buy for my bedroom.

I could get an LG 32-Inch 1080p 120 Hz for $500: [link]

Or I could spend $372 more for a 37 inch. I'm thinking the 32 inch would be just fine for my bedroom, yeah?

how big a bed room do you have?

Screen ---Viewing distance range
26" --- 3.25-5.5 feet
32" --- 4.0-6.66 feet
37" --- 4.63-7.71 feet
40" --- 5.0-8.33 feet
46" --- 5.75-9.5 feet
52" --- 6.5-10.8 feet
58" --- 7.25-12 feet
65" --- 8.13-13.5 feet
70" --- 8.75-14.75 feet

That chart can be found on this crutchfield catalog: [link] or amazon: [link]

I would think a bedroom set wouldn't want to be too big to keep illumination to a minimum, if it's a source to help put you to sleep. If it's your primary watching zone, well, then that might be different.

Our wings are not tired.

My new little Samsung in the bedroom is 22 inches. It's probably 10+ feet away from my eyes and it's fine.

Huh. I think I'd want a smaller size than the low end of the ranges listed for most of those distances. And I have bad eyes.
