Google Calendar

I saw where Google released a “me too” calendar tool today. I only have one word for them, Intellisync.

I keep my calendar in Outlook, so I have it off-line, the only on-line tool I use is Yahoo’s calendar so that my wife can see where I will be at any given time in the future instead of always having to ask. I can use Yahoo’s Intellisync to sync that data from Outlook. Takes less than a minute. Google requires me to export the Outlook calendar to a CSV file and import that into my Google calendar. Much longer than a minute.

    But then again, the downside to the three day weekend is that it takes a day just to get back in the groove in the office! I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing or what I’m supposed to be doing! 🙂 Follow these topics: Uncategorized

  • Distractions

    I’ve noticed a somewhat significant drop in traffic the last couple of weeks. No surprise there, the weather’s getting nicer. In turn, weekends get busier, folks are out of the office on vacation, etc. Heck this weekend, I hardly spent any time at all on-line, so I understand! I get distracted from posting, let alone…

  • Back in the office

    Playing catch up after being gone for the funeral. Hundreds of items in Bloglines to look at, dozens of emails to answer, a few work issues that need resolved immediately, probably a handful of podcasts to get caught up on, etc. I’m still glad I was able to go be with Angela and her family…

    I said earlier that I was reserving judgement on the new Lockergnome layouts and things until after I’ve used them for awhile, and I intend to do just that. However, one thing that is irritating me (And today, everything is irritating me, so maybe it’s just my mood.) is that the RSS feed for the…

  1. I think it looks good – I did find a bug in it (not reproducible) where the time on the drop down box didn’t always match the finishing time – for example – set meeting to finish at 9pm – it sees that as 1 hour long – then set it to 2 hours long and it still puts it at 9pm 🙁

    I just wish I could get something to work with my lotus notes client to sync my calendar up.

  2. I think it’s a decent calendar app, but the inability to sync data with an offline tool kills it for me. I do too much scheduling when I’m offline, or on another PC that would let me add items online that will be synced back to Outlook. Lacking that, I can’t even consider using it.
