Two applications that need writing…

Posted by ijonas in Media & Technology Jun 13th, 2007 | one response

We are slowly moving to a world where information is readily available, wherever you might be in the world. One of the things that annoys me is that I cannot sync my ‘corporate’ Outlook Calendar with an online calendar such as Google Calendar. There is a RemoteCalendars project on SourceForge, but deals with syncing calendars from the Google Calendar cloud to the desktop. I want to send data in Outlook, running on my desktop, to Google Calendar. This has two benefits…. first it allows me to have access to my calendar from anywhere, secondly… Google Calendar provides a spring board for a whole host of online time management applications.

The second app that needs to be written is a fully functional, and fully usable – I’m talking Apple standards – Virtual Desktops client for Microsoft Vista. I can’t believe there isn’t one available showcasing Vista’s new interface capabilities – both Aero as well as the sidebar.

Oh yes… and finally… IMHO Vista is quite nice! Recommended.

    RE your sync problem.
    Have a look at http://www.plaxo.com
    It has worked “OK” for me up until now, just remember that if you hit “update” it will e-mail all your contacts, it’s the “sync” button you are looking for.
    However, I’m rambling, they have upgraded their services TODAY!
    I’m still testing but it’s looking good so far !
