Calgoo – The New, Free Spanning Sync

I’ve been trying out Spanning Sync for a while lately. The thing I haven’t been too fond of is the thought of “what am I going to do after this trial runs out? Am I REALLY going to pay for this software?” The answer is (fortunately) no.

Enter: Calgoo and Calgoo Connect. Calgoo Connect is an app for both Windows and Mac OS X that does the same thing that Spanning Sync does, but (and here’s the kicker) for FREE!

I dashed over to Calgoo’s signup “hub“, signed myself up, and then downloaded Calgoo Connect.

The setup was quite easy, although I didn’t like that I had to make a new connection for each calendar of mine, but I like how it allows me to sync calendars from multiple GCal accounts.

It was easy to do and now everything works just as it did with Spanning Sync. So, my iCal, GCal, and I are all happy.

Second WordPress Post! [a ramble]

ZoMg!1!! WoRdPrEsS!!1!

Ah, my second WordPress post. I’ve gotten quite familiar with this site, although I’ve been distracted most of my day today. Needless to say, my iPhone 3G has finally gotten to the imfamous 20% mark [in the red, if you will], and it’s reporting to me that it has received over 127 MB over EDGE. I somehow don’t think that that is enough.

Tomorrow [this being written at 1am, so essentially today], for me, is another lovely day in the wonderful world of retail. I think I’ll be home mid-afternoon, which could be good so that I might actually produce my podcast finally…however I might do that with WordPress, I’m not 100% sure, but I’m bound to find out the long way [just like I found out about WordPress's greatness...the long way].

In the event that you haven’t seen all of my posts either here or on twitter, I’ve recently upgraded to Leopard on my, at least, 1.5 year old MacBook [which I like to call the MacTop, cause I prefer the term laptop over notebook since I use notebooks regularly to collect my thoughts] and I absolutely am loving it, as any Mac nerd would. The only problems I’ve had is that it’s crashed twice on me, and every time I reboot it, Spotlight seems to want to index the drive all over again, thus killing my CPU. Maybe rebooting it without forcing it to shut down could fix that. Then again, I may have not updated recently.

We’ll see how tomorrow goes…you shall hear from me later [haha, literally]
