I wanted an offline repository at home for my faithful
pentium3 , 1Ghz , 384MB RAM desktop .
So I ran

Code:

wget -b -A i386.deb,i386.udeb,dsc,gz,all.deb  -r -a progress-log  -mk -c ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/

Debian repository is 200GB including all 11 architectures it support .So we have to be specific.

Exporting Outlook calendar as .ical/ics

Posted 05-13-2011 at 06:36 AM by catkin

Hello

This falls into two steps: firstly exporting an Outlook calendar as .ical files and secondly turning those .ical files into a .ics file.

The technique was used with Outlook 2003 running on Windows XP (as part of a migration to Xfce's calendar, Orage). It probably works with other versions and OSes too.

Thanks and acknowledgements to BlueDevilFan who posted the original VBA macro at Experts Exchange where it is no longer visible (but may be...
