I keep appointments for work, life… pretty much everything. Otherwise I could end up forgetting something important. I have a smart phone with a great calendar (Windows Mobile 5). I also like using Google Calendar because it’s easily available when online (plus it’s sharable). But until now, I could sync the two calendar programs together without A LOT of work. Well, that’s changing.

What you need:

• A smart phone
• Google Calendar
• Thunderbird (link) with
  • Lightning Calendar Addon (link)
  • Birdie Sync (link) (search this blog for details)
• Google Calendar Provider Addon (link)
• Two additional files to fix syncronization as described in this Birdie Sync forum post (link)

One problem, however, is that recurring appointments in google are not yet properly supported. Only the first in the series will display. Hopefully that will be patched somewhere down the line.
