I am currently looking for a desktop blogging software for Linux. The known ones like BloGtk, Drivel or the Gnome tool could not really convince me much.

It took quite some while, but final it is there: the bidirectional synchronization between Google Calendar and Mozilla Thunderbird. I know, synchronization should be bidirectional by default, but lately the word synchronization was used with different meanings. However, I do not care anymore - it finally works!
I have tried it my own. WITH offline support!!! So, you can update your Google Calendar via Thunderbird and everything you change in Google Calendar will also show up in Thunderbird and can be displayed off-line (you have to choose “Work offline” from the “file” menu though). You can also make changes to Thunderbird and it will show up in Google Calendar after a while.
This made my day. I was waiting for this so long.

It might have some bugs still, but so far it worked fine for me.
While adding a new feed to Google Reader a little window open and tells me that Google Gears would like to use this application. I accepted and suddenly the little green symbol for activating the offline modus in Google Reader appeared!
It seems to work. I did not change anything. OK, today there was one update for Linux, but I do not think it was do to this update of Gnome utils. But who knows. It is just weird because I can not understand, why suddenly the “thingy” works.
But on the other hand: Who cares? Google Gears finally works!
Welcome on my little website. I hope the published information might be of value for some of you. If you have a question regarding one of the issues discussed here, feel free to comment or write me an email. I will try to answer as early as possible. Have fun!
