When I last wrote about Google’s new Notifier application for the Mac, I didn’t mention a shortcoming of the calendar notifier, which failed to notify me of upcoming events in shared calendars that I have subscribed to. This seems to have been fixed in the latest update for the notifier.

For those who may not know, the Google Notifier is an application that shows you alerts in your menu bar (on the Mac), so you can see when you have new Gmail messages or upcoming Google Calendar events without having to open a web browser. I believe the Windows version of this program is still called Gmail Notifier, and is yet to see the integration of calendar events notification.

Event notification of subscribed calendars is a big plus for me, since my primary use of Google Calendar is to keep track of public-interest events (and not so much to record my own personal transactions), the Indian Public Holidays calendar (maintained by G R Prakash) being on top of my list.
