Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, mostly in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Hotmail Frontdoor team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for the User Interface of Hotmail as well as some of the Infrastructure and Architecture. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

It seemed all great, but then I noticed that not all my events sync. Today for example, Google says I have 3 appointment, but really I have 5.
I found this gem in the help:
I'm using Google Calendar Sync and not all my events are syncing. If your Microsoft Outlook events aren't being transferred to Google Calendar, check to see if the email address associated with Google Calendar is listed as the organizer or a guest of the event. Currently, Google Calendar Sync requires that you're either the organizer or a guest on an event to sync it properly. For additional details please see the Google Calendar Sync - FAQ in our Help Group.

Check to see if the email address associated with Google Calendar is listed as the organizer or a guest of the event?
What exactly does that mean and how do I ensure that the right email address is listed?
According to the FAQ:
To sync all events between Microsoft Outlook and Google Calendar, the email address associated with Google Calendar needs to match the email address associated with Microsoft Outlook. For example, if you're using user1@domain.com with your Outlook Calendar, enter user1@domain.com in the Google Calendar Sync Settings window, and then view your synced events with the Google Calendar associated with your user1@domain.com email address. If you don't yet have Google Calendar set up with your user1@domain.com email address, just visit the Google Calendar homepage and click on "Create a new Google Account."
I have to create a new Google Account just to get all my events synced? Why do some work and not others?
Perhaps I should use OggSync, which doesn't have any of these limitations, and is what my wife uses to sync her Windows Mobile Phone to her Calendar.
For now I've just uninstalled the sync client.
