This isn't a problem thread and hopefully that doesn't annoy anyone.

I had tried to get the GPE-Calendar and erminig setup going a few months ago and ran into problems. Today, I installed GPE-Calendar 2.8+maemo+svn20081212-3 and erminig 3.0.3-3 and it took about two seconds for two-way syncing to work.

I just want to thank these folks and also let anyone else know that this works like a charm on the most recent OS2008 on an N800. I now have a great reason (other than podcasts) to carry my N800 around with me. (and yes, I do feel like I have been living under a rock and not using these programs already)
