Upcoming.org to Outlook to Palm?

June 14, 2005 6:04 AM

I use upcoming.org to keep track of concerts and club nights I am or may be interested in going to...and I just got a new Palm Tungsten e2, which i've synched up with Outlook on my WindowsXP machine at work...i'd love to be able to feed the Outlook calendar the iCal file from Upcoming.org (thus, synching it up to my Palm).

In a perfect world, I would love to be able to tell Outlook's calendar to pull information and dates from my iCal feed on upcoming.org (via the webcal://upcoming.org/calendar/my_events/.... URL for my events), thus populating my Outlook calendar with these events...and finally updating my palm with them when I synch them.

Thing is, the only way I seem to be able to do this would be to download the iCal file to my HD and then manually updated Outlook with it (and I don't even know if I can do this...I am admittedly not as learned in iCal as I should be)...but this seems tedious if my events on upcoming.org keep getting updated (hence, i'd love to plug in the iCal address to always keep whatever synching is done up to day).

Can Outlook 2003 SP1 (windows xp home sp2) populate its calendar with events from the web as described above?

Hey, I made Upcoming.org. If anyone figures out how to do this, let me know and I'll add it to the community wiki. Also, if there's something that needs to happen on my end, let me know and I'll get it done.
