Last blog I wrote syncing was working between KOrganizer and my Nokia. I have to correct that. It does not work.

After the post I made a connection to the company agenda in KOrganizer. And after hitting the the sync button of Kitchensync it started to sync the company agenda. Well, that was not so bad, having the company agenda in my phone is actually a benefit.

The next day I hit sync again. Now KOrganizer had all the company agenda items in my personal agenda resource. That’s bad. After cleaning up that mess (it took me hours to extract my personal data from the agenda) I just decided that I could live with it: remember to turn off the company agenda before quiting KOrganizer, sync, start KOrganizer, turn on the company agenda resource.

But now there is a new problem. Every new day I sync KOrganizer with my phone it duplicates all items on the phone, /some/ with a shift of two hours, even without touching those agenda items, not on my phone and not within KOrganizer.

This sync story is getting ridiculous. I don’t understand how companies deal with this. The basic idea of syncing is … syncing. Finding duplicates, merge the info and keep those two in exact sync. If Kitchensync – based on OpenSync – can not do that, they both should be excluded from the distro’s.
