Sharing Calendars on Office Live
So I have finally joined an Aeroplane syndicate.
Charlie came breezing into my home office today with all the manuals for the Grunman Tiger. We started talking and it soon became apparent that we would need a way to book the Tiger in advance. This would mean that Charlie and I and the other guys would need to access her calendar from our outlook client. It would also mean that the Chief Flying Instructor at the flying club (my old pal Laurie) would need to see the bookings also, as we are going to use some of his time to get us through our Instrument Rating.
So I used my ISP with Exchange hosting. (Can't tell you who it is unfortunately). I created an account for the Tiger. Configured my RPC/HTTP settings and fired up Outlook.
In all the whole process to this point took less than 5 minutes
Then I published the calendar on Office Live and invited myself and Charlie to view the shared calendar. Another 1 minute.
Now I can book the plane and see her calendar in overlay mode. 7 minutes tops! Wicked!
