Why does iCal suck for professional use? You don't have week numbers!

Remedy: Use NumSemaine to generate a calendar telling you the week. My favourite settings is "Mark on the 1rst day, schedule event 07:00" as my iCal day begins at 7AM. Like this it doesn't add an all-day event which consumes too much space in my eyes.

This year, there was no confusion about week 01 since the first of January was a Monday. But next year, week 01 will start with the 4. of January according to the ISO specification:

[...] the first week of a new year is the week that has the majority of its days in the new year. Week 01 might also contain days from the previous year [...]

In the case that week 01 contains days from the previous year, you also can set the start date manually.
