But getting it loaded with my agenda is not working that great. I&#8217;m using Oracle Calendar and PalmDeskTop synced. I try to export from Oracle and although I get several formats out, none will go into Gcalendar. However I can get them to just drag and drop into Palm. So I try exporting from there. No luck. Gcalendar hates the formats. No matter which ones I try. Then I try putting the exported file into iCal. Hey it works! For iCal. Not Gcalendar. So I export from iCal in .ics format (as described by Gcalendar as the thing to do). I can preview the text in FireFox. It looks just right. I try to upload to Gcalendar. I get &#8220;Failed to import events: Failed to upload ical\/csv file.&#8221; Sometimes I get a timeout message instead. I could be hitting a load problem on Gcalendar and will try again later. But YIKES this is frustrating. But hey I now have iCal, PalmDeskTop, my Treo and Oracle Calendar all in sync.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\nUPDATE:<\/strong> Somehow the iCal formated file finally made a successful upload and I now have a GooCal in operation. Now to learn more about it. SMS for verification of the alerts was so slow getting here that I&#8217;m lead to believe that the SMS alert will be next to useless. I haven&#8217;t tested to see if the slowdown is at Google or at Cingular tho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It loves me not. Google Calendar is live and that&#8217;s nice.
