Question regarding Google Calendar and Printing.

When you select print weeks to print in Google Calendar, it only allows a maximum of 7 weeks to be selected.  When you select the print icon on the google page it creates a PDF of your calendar, but on two pages.  Any ideas how to get some more advanced printing out of calendar?

Google has released a video on their official Google Channel on Youtube about how to use Google Apps to improve productivity.

Google has announced that it will be adding a presentation piece, similar to Powerpoint, to its Google Docs suite.  It is expected to be available this summer.

Unfortunately the Top 20 List is of the “Most Annoying Tech Products of All Time” according to PC World. The other sad reality is the Microsoft’s storage model for its server product, Exchange, includes some of the same annoyances (i.e. storing all e-mail in a “single ever-growing data file” that will eventually leads to server failure). This situation is all too familiar to Concordia as we look at the potential failure of our Exchange server due to its ever-growing database.

Here is an article I continually find related to google calendar synchronization, ipods, cell phones, home desktops, and work desktops.  This requires the use of a third party, but we may be able to integrate it locally.

The Holy Grail of Synch

There is a new version of Thunderbird coming out this month that will support Gmail integration including tags.

As we look at the potential move to Google Apps for Concordia’s e-mail system, we will need to have a solution in place for our mobile device users.  A new application called Consilient offers a free version that pushes e-mail to mobile phones.  One nice feature is that it is compatible with most common mobile phones including but not limited to Windows Mobile phones.  They also offer a pay-for service with added features.

Looks like this might be an added feature in the next release (expected in the next week or two):

Syncing with Sunbird/Lightning coming soon?

This weekend, while sending notices to off-campus colleagues of an upcoming event, I ran into Google email sending limits. I am currently locked out of sending email from my csp.edu account! Supposedly my access will be restored in 24-72 hours. The google policy is here. Rants are here and here.
IMHO, this policy (for which I cannot get the exact specifics) may be a deal breaker. And I do not find the alternative of setting up google groups as an appealing alternative. CSP needs the ability to send large quantities of email to large groups (to students in a college, to a recruitment group, to an event group, to all student, to all alumni, etc.). And nothing is more inconvenient than being locked out!!!

They’re even willing to teach me how to use my university in more languages. I don’t think Outlook can do that!
