Recently I found a solution to a problem which has been nagging me for a while (ever since I switched to IMAP email actually). The problem? Synchronizing calendars and contact between my desktop and laptop PCs.
The solution I found is ScheduleWorld, a free synchronization service which allows you to share calendars, contacts, tasks and memos between multiple devices (PCs, mobile phones). As far as I can tell the actual work is done using SyncML, but there are plugins for various email/PIM clients as well as support for a range of mobile phones. It’s pretty straightforward to setup, as there’s a wealth of documentation of the wiki.
I’ve been using it for calendar, contacts and task synchronization between my laptop and desktop (using Evolution) for a month or so now, and it works great. Once configured, it’s as simple as creating a cron job to periodically synchronize with the server.
Nice… 
I meant to write about this a while ago, but I forgot. An email from Jonny this afternoon reminded me…
