The Mac Geek Cab Premium, version 308,

version episode 308, for Thursday, January 6th, 2011. And I'm Thanks folks and welcome to the Mac Observers Mac Geek. You know the show it's the show where you send in show where you send in the questions. You send in the tips. We share what we know.

From, baby, it's cold outside Durham, New Hampshire. I'm Dave Hamilton.

Yeah, it is cold, and a storm's brewing from what I hear, at least for us.

We got a blizzard warning or something or something. Something cooking.

Anyways, John F. Fairfield, Connecticut, and then back up in New Hampshire.

It's pilot Pete, glad to be with you guys.

And technically it's speaking, it it's not cold but it's

lack of warmth right I mean lack of energy sure let's go with that sounds good

who invited this guy I showed up with a note for my mother that's it.

Yeah I can't read what she said though.

You know, so we've got quite a few questions and such here.

But John, you and I both did something recently that that that bears

discussion and that is we both migrated our calendars in Mobile Me.

Now, Mobile Me about somewhere between three and seven months ago,

depending on when you hopped into this process, moved from, moved their calendar sinking from whatever

solution, you know, customized private API solution they used in the past to the industry standard

CalDAV solution which which allows for a whole lot more functionality and it also makes the sinking process a lot smoother.

Right, so previously if you wanted to sink your calendars between two of your own machines, you had to log in to Mobile Me

sync inside the system preferences, you know, go in there, go to Mobile mobile me sign up and click the

click the check box there and then via sync services your calendars would get

synced at least in theory it was always sort of wacky and and it will it never I don know, for me it never really worked right.
