If you take sexual advantage of her, you're going to burn in a very special level of hell. A level they reserve for child molesters and people who talk at the theater.

Clever you. Who'd of thunk?

Checked that, and everything seems normal and all the defaults are correct, maybe it's just a glitch, or me.... probably me.

I will give a shiny penny to whoever can tell me how to sync Google Calendar with my Treo on my Mac. (There's a program out there that does it for Windows, using .NET, but sadly, I have no Windows and no .NET.)

[eta: Bluetooth solutions would also be acceptable. Exporting my Google Calendar to iCal every night, less so.]

I guess this means the "Yay thank you!" email I sent didn't get to you. But I did, so thank you very much!

You're welcome! I shall delete the file now.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Jess, would GCalSync work for you? Looks like it's set up to let you sync directly from the phone's browser: [link]

Ooh, that looks very promising! I'll try installing it when I get home tonight right now, and see how it goes.

[edit: No luck -- "Your device does not support this type of file." Drat!]

You don't have to manually export your calendar to iCal, you can tell iCal to subscribe to your Google Calendar: [link]

As long as you keep iCal running, it should stay in sync, and get exported to your Treo.

Hmmmm....ideally, I'd also like to be able to make changes on the Treo and have them reflected on Google, but the subscription thing looks like it would work too.

Thanks, Tom!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

HR question: We are going to have to hire a new IT guy here in Burbank. He will keep our local network up and running and work with our head of IT who is based at our headquarters in Minneapolis. It's not a terribly taxing job, but can involve on-a-deadline problem-solving, usually involving the amount of digitizing of video files we do here. Those of you who know more about the IT world, HELP ME PLEASE. Where should I advertise? Do you have any buzzwords I should use in the ad? Should I use a headhunter for a relatively low level IT position like this?

Speaking of Google calendar, I just clicked on my computer's little clock display to pop-up a calendar and noticed that it had sync'd with my Google calendar and was displaying appointments. I have no clue how it managed to figure that out. I can't remember ever telling it about Goolge calendar.

Hi jubsews! You actually sound far more computer literate than some people I help with computers.
