Today I checked out GMail "Calendar." Apparently once you click on, sign in and "view," it is not possible to "unsubscribe," so now I'm stuck with "Calendar" on top left of my GMail inbox. While annoying, it presents some interesting Palm synching questions I have:
1. There is a "groups" discussion of Palm calendar synch with GMail Calendar, and one girl has found a way to do it with "Air-something" and then importing.
2. There are multiple requests for a GMail HotSync conduit.
3. My thoughts were to exort my calendar as CSV and import - it wouldn't "sync," perse, but would at least but regularly scheduled events on GMail.
My concerns are this:
1. With the ability to share your calendar with others and/or mark them private - are there any security concerns "you all" have regarding events on a GMail Calendar? Some in the forums are reorting "spammed" events showing up on their calendar.
2. I can export, and regularly do, my contacts as a csv including all fields. Apparently you can't export calendar as anything other than .dba (archive) file. I seem to remember Mooseman fixing calendar issues by looking at them in Excel and deleting "@@@@" garbage - I'm wondering now how that's done since I can't seem to convert .dba to .csv (tried just changing file extension, no workie and no details).
Thanks in advance for any input - I don't keep cookies on Firefox, and the only thing Google Calendar asked was Timezone (obviously) - but apparently once calendar is "on there," there's no unsubscribe. Groan. Do you view this as a security risk, and especially if your calendar was imported basically to the web and marked "private" except some events you'd share with others? And since iCal isn't possible, what's most expedient way to "get the data outta Palm Desktop" for manipulation and import? I feel like a putz for asking, but it's been a long time since I messed with calendar data manipulation since switching to MonthlyPlanner! It doesn't make errors!
BTW, I'm working this weekend on a Stylish script (Firefox extension - fantastic!) that just MIGHT allow you to have your Agendus/Datebk5 icons show up on the GMail calendar - it depends on what the Firefox Dom Inspector tells me about the particular element entered in the calendar. That would rock . . . as long as the world isn't reading the calendar.
