Lotus Notes to Google calendar .. argh!
Posted on May 26th, 2010 at 4:28 pm by kemal

So .. various options to try and get these two working together ..  not easy and straight forward.

Option 1: Pay for AWESync which looks very nice (didn’t try it yet)

Option 2: Try open source stuff, like “ncal2gcal” but this is only one way – Notes to Google.

It worked on a few repeating anniversaries then didn’t –then hangs with the dots and letter “I”s progress indicators frozen.

Option 3: Try another open source project, “LNGoogleCalSync” but this barfed first time with a Windows environment variable “path” error .. so added the directory I use “c:\Notes\” to the Windows XP path variable and tried again .. wow, worked.

Only limitations are that it’s still one way and also limited to minus 7 and plus 60 days either side of ‘today’ .. but, hey, it works. For complete functionality go to Option 1 above.

So, 10 mins and it worked .. now the wife and the O2 Joggler can keep track of my movements. Nice.

Left, Notes 8.5, right Google Cal:
