Hägnan stuff coming together

Our Medieval Days event is fast approaching, faster for me than for the other organizers, since I fly to Finland on Friday to attend Cudgel Wars. Since I am the one who has been processing registrations, this means that the deadline for registering is noon on Thursday. Before I fly I need to send out the information email to everyone who is participating, so I spent this evening editing last year's version to have this year's information, and then did an English version, too, since some of our merchants are coming from eastern Europe, and the feast cook is from Finland.

Then I finally solved a problem that has been bothering me. The google calendar for the event hasn't been showing up on my phone, even though it shows on my computer screen. I have tried, and tried, in both the the calendar app I normally use, and in the default google calendar app, but although under "calendars" in both programs this one showed as "visible" I still couldn't actually see any appointments. It turns out that it isn't enough to have it "visible", one must also go into the default google calendar app, click on the button on the upper left corner, scroll to the very bottom of the menu that opens (which shows all of the calendars one can see, and what colour they will be displayed) and click "settings". This will open a new, differently formatted list of all of the calendars you have access to. If the calendar you want isn't listed under the email address you use for calendar stuff, click the "show more" button under that address, which will expand the list to really show all of them. Then hold the name of the calendar that hasn't been showing up, and when the new menu opens activate "sync". One can also change the colour for that calendar in that menu.

This was a very important thing to solve, since I will be consulting my phone calendar at the event when I need to know what time things are meant to be happening...
