Google launches Calendar Sync

Good news for all of you relying on Microsoft Outlook for organizing your life but that also have some event in Google Calendar :D

Google made public Google Calendar Sync that:

users sync Google Calendar with Microsoft Outlook calendar. Using it, you can access your Google Calendar information offline, access your Outlook calendar information online from any computer, and sync your Outlook calendars across multiple computers.

What do you want more? :D

Gmail, Google reader and the time settings of your computer

Weird thing happened today. Suddenly Gmail webpage wasn't showing up anymore, it was reloading and reloading and reloading... Greader was saying that there were unread items while not showing any of them. I tried with Firefox, nothing. With IE nothing as well.

Reinstalled in order:
* Java
* IE
* Firefox

Nothing... same as before.
In the end I checked the date and it was one month later than today... well, believe it or not, that was the problem... After fixing the date everything bakc to normal.

So if Gmail or Greader don't work, take a look at the your date settings ;)

Picasaweb and embedded slideshow

Finally I got why I didn't have the "embed slideshow" button in my picasaweb... I had English (UK) language instead of English (US)...

So if you're missing it too, just go to your settings and change your language from whatever you have to English (US).

Here a simple example:



Finalmente ho capito perchè non avevo il link "Embed Slideshow" in Picasa... avevo la lingua sbagliata. La funzione è disponibile (per ora) solo se si ha come lingua English (US).

Quindi se anche a voi manca la funzione "embed slideshow" andate sui vostri settings e cambiate la lingua. Apparirà magicamente. ;)
