another way to sync my ipod with google calendar!
I found this post with a very long url and it looked very interesting.
However, the wget archive mentioned doesn’t seem to be around anymore.
But not to be deterred, I tried it using the files from this archive: http://www.christopherlewis.com/WGet/WGetFiles.htm and success!
But it wasn’t quite that easy… I had to change a couple of things in the bat file to get it to work!
My bat file now looks something like:
cd Calendars
..\wget -t 45 -N http://www.google.com/calendar/ical/the-rest-of-your-private-ical.ics
Because:
- The directory on my ipod is ‘Calendars’ not ‘Calendar’
- I found you don’t add the -N it adds a new file every time you run it rather than over-writing the existing file
- -t 45 means that if there’s a slow connection it won’t time out
- and remember to change the url of the .ics to have a proper @ in the user name not an &40 !
Stick a shortcut to the bat file on your desktop (or wherever) and updating your google calendar and ipod is a ’sync’h
