Ramblings of a .NET developer

oSynchro Preview Release

A long time ago, I started working on an Outlook plugin to allow you to synchronize your appointments, contacts, and tasks with a web service to allow you to maintain the same data across multiple Outlook instances without the use of Exchange.  I've mentioned many times about releasing some source code, but finally I'm getting around to it.

The goodies.

A word of caution though.  Use this at your own risk.  It isn't ready for a full blown release and I've been too busy to clean it up and fully test it.  It is currently setup to work with Outlook 2003... changing around some of the references is probably needed to load the Office XP Interop libraries.  I also need to remember where the registry key is to tell Outlook to load the plugin.

I'm hoping that towards the end of the semester, things will calm down and I can get back to work on it.  Mainly releasing it in hopes that some other people will take a look at it and fix some of my garbage and what not.  If people actually want to contribute to it, I'd probably look into getting a Vaultpub repository for it.

Sounds like exactly what i've been looking for. I'm running a home network with a 2 pcs and a laptop and my wife and i want to be able to use the same instance of outlook (which picks up about 6 pop email accounts and has seperate calendars/tasks/contacts which we synch with our Palms) at any of them.

I await future releases with interest - how long is a semester?

Goes until end of May. I'm hoping to get some more free time soon, since development on my senior project is supposed to be done within the next 2 weeks.
