Re: Meta information from iCal entry

You could also export the calendar to an ics file, open that using (eg)
TextWrangler, and look for the entry's CREATED field.

I don't see a CREATED field, but there is a DTSTAMP field. Here is one
complete entry

BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART;TZID=US/Central:20070620T140000
DTEND;TZID=US/Central:20070620T160000
SUMMARY:Fence fixing
UID:5C5165A7-40DB-42DA-8070-B0D8FC1BEA7B
SEQUENCE:4
DTSTAMP:20070615T215836Z
END:VEVENT

Perhaps it depends on what created the events. I'm syncing a calendar from Google and an event looks like this:

BEGIN:VEVENT
CLASS:PUBLIC
LOCATION:
TRANSP:OPAQUE
UID:C77A144E-6356-4AD2-9626-F87022E65DA2
DTSTAMP:20070730T114130Z
LAST-MODIFIED:20070717T084018Z
SEQUENCE:0
CREATED:20070717T084018Z
STATUS:CONFIRMED
DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20070717
SUMMARY:Example event
DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20070721
CATEGORIES:http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#event
DESCRIPTION:
ORGANIZER;blahblahblah
END:VEVENT


This accords with my memory well. The fence man had already been out to
fix the fence on June 15, but the dogs quickly found another way out.
So that day (June 15), I called again to have the workman come out again
(on June 20).

But as a previous poster pointed out, there doesn't seem to be a
separated CREATED date from MODIFIED date. A little experimentation
confirms that DTSTAMP contains the last modification time.

That should really be enough for what I need, as I'm looking for an aide
memoir more than anything else.

Cool. Good luck with your dog and neighbour.
