I've always been pretty skeptical when it comes to calendar software. You update your online version through Google Calendar, and it'll propagate down to whatever clients you need it to... But what if you want to update your local version? There's an extension to Sunbird (Mozilla's calendar program) called Provider for Google Calendar, which Just Works. When you add a new event to your local copy, it sends it off to Google Calendar. Whether you're checking from home, school, work, or anywhere, all of your calendar events are synced.
I set up both Thunderbird with Lightning (which adds your calendar into Thunderbird), as well as a standalone copy of Sunbird. This way I still see my calendar and can update it when I check my mail, as well as gain quick access to it without the overhead of Thunderbird.
I'm absolutely loving this setup. If you check your calendar from multiple locations, I'm sure you would love it as well!
Now if I could just find a decent way to get gnome-panel's clock applet to recognize these... Does evolution-data-server update its calendar without me opening it?
