Calgoo goes free: sync Google Calendar, iCal, and others for free
by Danny Mendez Jul 28th 2008 at 12:00PM
Well, Calgoo has been one of those paid options up until now, but the minds behind the program just announced that it is free from here on out. That's right, Calgoo is now the free option in Google Calendar and desktop caledar synchronization. Calgoo officially supports 30 Boxes, Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook, and -- of course -- Google Calendar.
Calgoo's "Chief Owl" will not employ ads in the app in order to pay for the costs of developing the program, but the team will begin to run ads on Calgoo Hub and possibly other future products. As for the software itself, it's pretty easy to use, and it provides for two-way synchonization, which means that any changes on one calendar will apply to the other.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

Hey!
Where were you all for two days?
I was wondering wheter you all went for a vacation. It was thouroughly unproffessional. Don't do it again.

See story by News.com:
AOL is likewise paring back some of the blogs it hosts, according to a different memo obtained by PaidContent.org. The DIYLife blog is being shut down, according to that report, and bloggers there and at the Unofficial Apple Weblog and DownloadSquad, who are paid by the post, have been told to stop posting until July 31 to cut costs.

I was going to use this, but then I saw that Google Cal already supports iCal sync! :)

This would be great had Calgoo not duplicated everything on my Google Calendar every time it synced. Any programs out there that can sync Google Calendar to Outlook 2003 one way? I'm just looking to get my Google Calendar from Outlook to the iPhone's calendar and am tired of waiting for Google to create their own app.

DLS, come back! Just start posting! Who cares if AOL says to wait 2 more days!!
But seriously, how did you not jump at the opportunity for a "BRB, downsizing" post??

UPDATE: Now Google has started iCal Support. So, sync iCal directly with Google WebDav server !

Looks good but cannot support PC's using Microsoft's ISA server. As such, it just hangs trying to authenticate your account.
So I add this to the long list of synchronisation applications which almost but don't quite make it. When I find one that actually works, is free and supports re-occuring appointments then I'll be a happy man.
Shame really.
