How to set up multiple google calendars on the iPhone

You use Google Calendar to manage your schedule.  And you’ve just got yourself one of those fancy iPhones. Now comes the question: how do you sync them?

Prior to a month ago, you probably had to set up spanning sync on your computer to connect google calendar and iCal (if you’re on a mac) and then set up mobile me to sync over the air (or use iTunes to sync when you connected your iPhone to your computer). Big hassle. Until now (or at least a month ago).

Using the Microsoft Exchange sync feature Google has made it easy to sync your iPhone to Google calendar. The instructions are easy and the results work perfectly. Until you realize that only your primary calendar is sync’d.

If you’re like me, this is not going to fly. I have multiple calendars, and I need them all. So what to do?

  1. Go to m.google.com/sync in your iphone’s browser.
  2. Click on your iphone’s name - it should be listed on this page.
  3. Select the calendars that you want to sync (you can currently sync only a maximum of 5 - this is a bug that google and apple are currently working out).

That’s it. You’re sync’d.

We’re not that different

I love the way these guys groove! It’s not just funny. I find it really touching. It’s like getting a party translated. Once there’s a point of reference, it’s not so strange. Or at least, it’s not strange because it’s foreign, but because it’s unexpectedly familiar.

It’s great to be back In India. The weather has been beautiful, and the people, like always, a joy to be with. It was great to meet Arun in person and see Murali, Bala and the family again. Here are some photos from the past week. Enjoy…

This is a photo of Murali and Arun, two of our excellent programmers.
