Things seem to be moving on in the calendar synchronisation arena with the release today of an official Google solution to synchronise Outlook calendars to their online Google Calendar.
In reporting the release, whilst he said it seemed good, Scoble suggested that Plaxo was a better option as it synchronised to a whole raft of other [...]

I’ve had my first nose around the calendar synchronisation between Outlook and Plaxo – unfortunately the news is not good. It seems that although it supports recurring appointments, it totally ignores exceptions. I tend to use these pretty extensively, for example for regular conference calls with customers, or for church services or events like Choir [...]

Ever a glutton for punishment, I’m again wading into the calendar/contact synchronisation swamp in an effort to get my address book and calendar details from the Exchange server at work onto the Mac at home. If you’ve followed my previous expeditions into the swamp you’ll remember that the basic problem is that I need to [...]

This morning I had one of those real sinking feeling moments. I got to work, pulled out my Dell Axim PDA and plugged it into it’s cradle hooked up to my PC and rather than the usual screen was greeted with a big error message stating that there was memory corruption and asking me to [...]

Yesterday I had a slightly strange experience -after being decidedly unenthusiastic at recent Apple Keynotes, I found myself getting decidedly excited at the new range of iPod’s that Steve Jobs announced yesterday – even finding the whole Starbucks thing exciting (until I realised that it was US only… ).
The revamp of the existing [...]

So this morning I forgot my laptop – my excuse is that it’s normally at the office anyway on a Tuesday – but anyway, since I usually run my e-mail on the laptop, the PDA usually syncs with that. No problem I thought, I have ActiveSync and Outlook on my main desktop machine too, so [...]

As you may well know, Office 2007 and Vista will shortly be available to businesses. Thanks to the Microsoft Developers Network, at work we’ve had copies since last week.
Whilst I was away in the USA, two of the other developers on my team parallel installed Office 2007 – although Vista is still limited to non-production [...]

Over the past couple of weeks, life for the business traveller has got rather more difficult. Immediately following the major security alert ten days ago, everything including the precious laptops were being checked. Whilst bag thefts have gone up as a result, there is no details of how many laptops have not made it out [...]

More on trying to keep my calendars in sync, and my first thoughts on Google Calendar.

After many years of people offering electronic calendars, why is it that we still have to put up with glitches with syncing.

At the end of the weekend I get to a point where everything appears to sync together.

The Entourage support for Exchange proves to be not bad, but not everything I’d hoped for. However Missing Sync with Entourage proves to be even more of a nightmare than with ICal.

I give Missing Sync, one last chance, a totally clean iCal to copy my PocketPC diary into, and it can’t even get that right.

An article on a Palm site recommends the Psion 7 as a good purchase for mobile working.

The ongoing struggle to get Missing Sync for Windows Mobile to actually sync correctly.

Tiger upgrade take 2.

Progress on fixing the things that went wrong with the Tiger upgrade.

The new version of Missing Sync that supports Tiger arrives.

Resisting the temptation to install MacOS 10.4 Tiger just yet.
