Google Maps in QlikView

It is easy to do have a look at this tutorial.

Naked DSL

Well I finally decided to dump my phone carrier - Telstra and switch to iinet for adsl and telephone. The benefits are no more bills to the telco and for the price of a regular adsl account free local and national calls. The service from iinet was pretty good with one slip up during the changeover process. Be warned though that moving to naked dsl involves a period of time with no internet and no home phone.

Google Calendar sync with Outlook

I have wanted an easy way to sync from work things where I use Outlook to personal stuff using Google Calendar and now use SyncMyCal. The free version syncs just a few days either side of today whereas the Pro version syncs as much as you want. Have a look at http://www.syncmycal.com/home.htm

Once synced I use iGoogle and the Google Calendar gadget by Bas Hennekam.
This gadget lets me view all my appointments easily and I can even add new ones straight from the gadget.
