OggSync - Multiple Calendar Sync to Multiple Google Calendars

Rob | August 22, 2008

Okay.  So I’m “one-upping” myself from yesterday.  Yesterday I posted about a program that allows you to sync one calendar in Outlook to multiple Google Calendars.  That’s nice, but what if you have multiple calendars in Outlook?

We found this program called OggSync for one of my clients who has 10 calendars (count them TEN!) in Outlook to manage different facets of his business… This lets him give access to others to particular calendars in his Outlook through Google calendars as well as lets him change the public calendar on his website right from Outlook (we’re using the embedded Google calendar on his website).  How sweet is that?

OggSync Pro costs $30 per year.  For the right person, it’s definitely worth it.  It also syncs Contacts with native Google support… meaning that you don’t lose extra data that Google is capable of holding about contacts.  Apparently it can sync Windows Mobile as well.

CompanionLink for Google — synchronize Google Calendar with Microsoft Outlook

Rob | August 21, 2008

Okay.. so I’ve had clients ask to do this and found many hacked up poor solutions in the past.  None that I would give professionally.  But that’s all about to change. This is going to sound like an ad, but I’m giddy because I’ve been looking for this particular solution for such a LONG time.

CompanionLink Software has a program that allows you to Sync multiple Google Calendars as well as your tasks and contacts from Outlook to your GMail account.  Best of all… it’s pretty easy to use and offers scheduled synchronization.

UPDATE: I have to make one note here.. it does not support multiple Outlook Calendars to multiple Google Calendars.  Still it’s powerful.

You get a 14-day trial with no limitations and then there’s a $30 registration for the software should you choose to keep using it.  Check out this link: CompanionLink for Google — synchronize Google Calendar with any phone, PDA or Microsoft Outlook.  It works with ACT and tons of other PIM type programs out there…

I can see it now… let’s say you want a blog that has your Google calendar embedded, but you want to make changes to that blog calendar right from Outlook.  With this it’s done.  Awesome… I’m gonna go grab a Coke.

Time to Upgrade LogMeIn Hamachi

Rob | August 20, 2008

If you’re anything like us you run LogMeIn Hamachi at a few locations.  It helps with creating a VPN for small networks easily and it’s FREE for most of the locations we run and it’s inexpensive for the servers that we run it on as a service.

We have noticed a lot of clients getting a message that their license has expired.  Not to worry.
Go here and download the new version.

LogMeIn Hamachi: Download it for Free at Logmein.com

It should install and preserve your existing settings.
