There are programs out there that allow you to do this (ical comes immediately to mind). However, I wanted to ask why you think that is a good idea? Personally, I don't want my competition to know how buys, or not busy, I am and even if I am booked on a day. I would hate to turn away possible referral business I could give someone else.

I know that's a bit off-topic, so my apologies, I just wanted to maybe give you a few points to think about before going through all the work.

Default Try Tungle

Take a look at Tungle I have not used it but have heard others give it wonderful reviews.

Also if you want to look busy, just block out time periods as if you are busy.
good luck,

I agree. I don't think it's a good idea.

Depends on what you are doing. Hiding one's level of work smacks of insecurity to me, but to each his own.

For my line of work, many people choose which competitions to enter based on where I will be shooting, so I'm happy to let them know when and where to find me.

That said, my current calendar SUCKS so I'm looking for a good solution too.
