Google changed the way Google Apps calendars can be displayed.  
Previously a private calendar could be displayed with a link, but  
that’s no longer possible, and this has an effect on the NCCI Birthday  
calendar on [ncci.org](http://ncci.org).

The options are:

1. Give everyone an NCCI Google Apps account so they can access the  
calendar
2. Make the calendar public so the link works again or
3. Don’t link to the calendar anymore and just get rid of it.

We sort of lost our Birthday Minion when he wandered off to have a  
life, so no one is maintaining the calendar any longer. The easiest  
option is to make it public, but I didn’t want to make the calendar  
public without getting feedback from those whose names are on it  
already, so does anyone on there mind the calendar being public? If you  
say you mind, but your name isn’t on it, your vote won’t count.

If you’ve every received birthday wishes in here from everyone, chances  
are you’re on the birthday calendar. : )

My opinion is if it’s only birthdays, I don’t have much of an objection  
to it being public.

Just my 2 cents…

There’s a town in Japan that decades ago renamed itself Usa, so it  
could put “Made in USA” on items made there for export, to improve  
their sales. I’m guessing that’s not the Usa you’re wishing a Happy  
Birthday.

Susan,

“public” as in “visible to the entire planet”? In this case I do mind,  
please scratch my birthday off the list in this case.

TIA

Agreed; too many sites rely on some part of a birthdate for  
challenge/response stuff and I’d rather not have it be THAT easy to find.

Good luck.

I think the idea of them changing the name might be more of a great story.

Uwe:

Well, just so you know, your birthday was up on the internet publicly  
for several years BEFORE I changed the site and put the birthdays into  
a calendar on Google apps . LOL!

And all of you who are now objecting gave permission years ago for your  
birthdays to be up there. You asked for them to be up there, otherwise  
they wouldn’t be there.

I’d already removed the link to the calendar, or rather the link hadn’t  
worked for awhile and isn’t working currently, and the calendar wasn’t  
a public Google Apps calendar, which can only be found if someone  
searches for it.

I’ll just remove the link from the site completely. Who cares anymore  
when anyone’s birthday is, right?

If there’s anything else you don’t want up there, that’s up there with  
your permission already, just let me know. I’ll take it down. : )

If you’re giving any true information as a response to a challenge, you

The only real thing most websites get out of me is my first name. The

I was thinking of it more as a division of labor. I spend. You pay.
