It seem like no one can do it like Google , make use of Labs feature and improve their own product, lots of wonderful product are graduate from Google Labs and there are individual Labs for some of the product, a good example that getting lots of positive feedback should be Gmail Labs, which allow user to try out the new gmail feature. Google Calendar is follow Gmail footstep and introduce Google Calendar Labs.

google-calendar-labs

So what this lab does is testing new feature with the users that optin, which mean the new feature won’t be affect the normal usage while gather some of the google fans feedback, until the product is popular enough , then it will become part of official product. The Google Calendar Labs currently having 6 features for user to try out, i believe we should see some interesting discover from this lab soon.

If you using google calendar as your main calendar service, now you should feel more complete with the new Task feature . I believe that a lot of google calendar user wish that google calendar come with some todo service. There are quite a few of todo/GTD service that work with google calendar too , but we just want something from google.

so this is the answer from Google, Task !

google-calendar-with-task.jpg

after playing this task feature for a while , these are some of my opinion.

  • swap betweet task list is difficult , it should be more user friendly
  • create task limited by task list that you are currently in, you can’t view the task list A but create a task for task list B at the same time
  • the indent/unindent feature seem like a bit buggy, some time it doesn’t respond at all
  • no matter how many task list you have, all tie to 1 task calendar
  • date field is not text base, i prefer something like remember the milk where i can just input “next week” and it auto translate into proper date

share with me if this Task feature able to fit in your work flow.

I would like to aplogize that i giving wrong info on Google Calendar Offline Sync is just for one , this morning i saw this post from a taiwan blogger and finally i realiaze that i m wrong, it’s because i never setup the calendar properly, which cause only the default calendar is show.

So how to enable multile google calendar sync ? just swtich to the manage calendar page and select offline, you will see all the calendar in the listing, just check which calendar you want it to be offline sync.

Google gear has been out for quite some time, but until now this useful offline feature  start to tie with the rest of google product and my favourite calendar service  is getting the offline sync .

So what does offline sync means ? it actually sync with your desktop/notebook and allow you to access it without connection and what ever you done on the offline mode will be sync with the service when you connect back online, sounds like a great service right  ? but after i test it and find out the limitation is , Google calendar offline sync only allow you to sync ONE CALENDAR!

I think this happen also when they release the calendar sync with outlook, erm do you guys who using google calendar only use ONE CALENDAD ? for myself i have 6 calendar, each serve different purpose, with different color labeling, i feel in this way is more organize. Am i the only one using more then ONE CALENDAD? how many calendar you guys have on google calendar ?

P/S Just find out that i m wrong, Google calendar actually allow multiple calendar sync, is just that you need to setup.

This morning quite a few famous web2.0 blog mention about the new Yahoo Calendar , as usual i m surfing around to see how to get into this new calendar to play around with it , my yahoo calendar are still showing the the classic mode, finally i found the new calendar landing page from downloadsquad.

I happily click on the start button and it show me a cute page with not so cute content

the-all-new-yahoo-calendar-beta.jpg

what does it mean “doesn’t work in my language” ? i don’t recall there is a setting for language in account, so i drill into my account page and change the first field which i think causing this problem – Preferred Content, i change it from Yahoo! Singapore to Yahoo! US

then visit the landing page again , yeah this time no more silly cute doggie picture. But it inform me that i will only get into the waiting list. Argh in the end i still have to wait.

During my google reader cleaning process, one of the service pop in my eyes and capture my attention, ya i m interested on the service that’s why i subscribe the corporate blog of it, but it seem like there are no news for a period already , it raise a question to me , is the service still alive ? it is still under development ?

The service or rather say the product is call Scrybe , i can still recall when the time it announce , it’s like so impress and there is even a product video on youtube which capturing a lot of attention, after a while other calendar product keep poping out , but not this one , it some time still announce some exciting news like offline access or the thoughtpad, but it seem to me every exciting feature after some time , become a common feature that every where you can see , hmmmm ….

anyone get the invite and still using it ?

Sometime ago i m thinking to use Plaxo to sync all my contact, but today i just did the delete account action. Why am i leaving Plaxo ?

  • It been acquired by comcast, Comcast doesn’t seem like have good rep
  • Only allow sync to 1 google calendar.
  • Mobile sync is a premium service , you need to pay about $50 for this
  • Not much of people ( that i know ) using
  • Time to change a new service

Currently i m looking at funambol but it seem like don’t have any mac support, it should be good if i only need to sync btw my office and my mobile. I wonder why ,  it have ipod n iphone support .. but doesn’t sync with mac os address book and ical.

hmmmmm any other choice ?

I been spending lots of time to actually get everything organize, trying to apply the GTD in my life to make myself more productivity, thats the reason why am i looking for a good task management service recently, i will settle it with Remember The Milk and here come my second headache issue – Calendar.

Why i like web service is because basically as long as you have connection you can access your service but for sure there are some time you can’t find any connection, or you only able to get connection for a while , thats why sync/synchronization is very important.

The Holy Grail of Synchroinization this post give me lots of idea, too bad i can’t really get Schedule World working and putting all the egg in one basket seem danger. I visual my whole syncing with Gliffy

MyGTD

so what i have ?

Calendar

  • Work Calendar ( outlook ) – this will be my main calendar which include all my work related appointment
  • Other Calendar (outlook) – this will be multiple calendar on my google calendar, example like my web project calendar, my personal calendar which i don’t like to mix all in one

Bottleneck

  • Outlook XP on my working notebook – lots of plugin/software doesn’t work with this version and i can’t avoid since is pre-set by company
  • Multiple calendar seem like not support on both windows mobile and palm

Device

  • My notebook – running on Windows XP
  • My PC – running on Windows XP
  • My Phone – Treo 750v running on Windows Mobile
  • My PDA – Palm TX running on palm

ok this is roughly hows the setup, i going to post about the solutions i tried.

Thunderbird 2.0 is release, you can start to reclaim your inbox again !

These are the new features which you can find on their website , what i like is the Message Tagging, which allow you to tag your email, which is the same like labeling your email in Gmail. The rest are pretty standard improvement, it seem to me the spam fighting , Phishing Protection all these feature are still continue improve.

Oh not forget it support adding Gmail account in very easy step, you can just add the gmail account without knowing all the pop, smtp information but i will think this feature should be extend to most of email service out there ?

I have my attention on it because just before this official release, i saw a blog post that describe how to sync thunderbird2.0 RC1 with Gcal ( Google Calendar ) , with Lightning and Provider this 2 addon, you can sync your Gcal 2way ! Sigh when i trying hard to find some plugin which allow me to sync outlook with Gcal (avoid the paid version and looking for free or open source) , Thunderbird has did it easily with just 2 extension!

On top of it you can sync Thunderbird with Pocket PC (Windows Mobile) with paid option by using BirdieSync or FOC option by using FinchSync , too bad there are no solution for syncing with Palm, i think Thunderbird Dev team should put sync as one of the important feature for future roadmap, this might attract more potential users.

Let say for myself, i got no choice to use outlook because it can sync my phone ( pocket pc ) and my pda ( palm ) without adding any additional cost.

p/s before i forget one of the issue for syncing the Gcal with thunderbird, you must always stay online, it is not working in the way you did it offline first then sync later, one of the suggestion is using GCalDaemon in between Thunderbird and Gcal until provider plugin is fixing this issue.

Just in case if you are Google Calendar ( Gcal ) fans and looking for some GTD solution ( todo, task management, todo list) to integrated with your gcal, there are 2 player in the market which allow you to do this.

if you already using these service, thats will be good since you can use it with your gcal, if you haven’t try this 2 service before , i will recommend you to give it a try, both are good GTD service.

Gcal Integrated with Todo

this will be how it looks after integrated, what can i do after integrated my todo list with my gcal ? its a bit simple for Toodledo which allow you add new task and see the task that due on the particular date ( which mean you can’t see those without due day task )

Toodledo on Gcal

for Remember The Milk shows more complete feature, which include map feature and of course task that without due date is showing.

RTM on Gcal

sound interesting ? you might think that this might be difficult to integrate, Nope this is very simple, all done in one click

Toodledo addto Gcal
