If there’s one thing which I don’t like about iCal (well there’re actually 2 things, but I’ll only talk about one of those now) then it’s that newly created events don’t contain an alarm. On the one hand it’s tedious task to select 10 new events by hand and set an alarm for each of them, and on the other I frequently even forget that and thus accordingly forget the actual event as iCal never informs me
Now Robert Blum wrote a small iCal Fix which adresses just this issue: Newly created events now automatically haven an alarm set.
Great.
