Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. 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.

According to Google, they fixed a complaint I had with their Calendar Sync Add-in for Outlook.
Previously, your Google Calendar email address needed to be the organizer or an attendee of your Microsoft Outlook events for the Outlook events to sync to your Google Calendar. Now, when you choose to do a 2-way sync or a 1-way sync from Outlook calendar to Google Calendar, all of your Outlook events will be synced to your Google Calendar.
Well, I just tried it, it sync’s more events, but still not all of them. And it’s completely random which events it syncs.
I don’t get it. How hard is it to ask Outlook for every event on the calendar? I’m baffled that this didn’t even work the first time they released it. Programming for Outlook is pretty hard and stuff, but sheesh.
I think, at the very least, they don’t handle exceptions to recurring meetings correctly.
