Why use Calendar with
TimeSlice?
Because publishing your Calendar files to the Internet is a very
simple way to present to your clients a graphically recognizable
form of your time. It increases client integration and
trust. It's suggested that you use a separate Calendar for
each of your clients. Publish the Calendars to secure
webdav servers for clients to review at their leisure or for
them to subscribe to (using Calendar or Mozilla).
Why use TimeSlice with
Calendar?
Suppose you're on the road or at a client meeting, or otherwise
working away from your Mac and can't input time into
TimeSlice. Normally when you return to your office you
have to create a new time record quickly before you forget the
details. Using Calendar can make this task simpler.
Either while on the road or when you return to your office, you
can usually create the items retro-actively quicker in Calendar.
TimeSlice could then import this data from Calendar.
