As for push vs. pull - I need push because Google can't see my "server" to<br>
subscribe. FWIW, this is a path to publishing a calendar onto the iPhone<br>
that I want to run on a colleague's Windows PC (but that I will also happily<br>
run myself if/when I can get it working :-)<br>

<br>
How about a script that just syncs the .ics file from his Windows PC<br>
then, to some other machine that *is* accessible?<br>
<br>
The simple approach is often the most reliable. Laziness is a virtue :)<br>

I agree with Toby, keep it simple. In fact why get Google involved at all?<br>
<br>
To keep an eye on eBay items I have a script that generates an ics file on my home linux box. I then subscribed to it directly on my iPhone and it works quite nicely. The phone it set to fetch data every 15 minutes, the Apache logs show requests 15-20 minutes apart which is timely enough for my needs. [1]<br>
<br>
If I didn't have a publicly available web server at home, it would have been trivial to add a SCP to the end of the script.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

[1] The eBay script only runs once an hour so 15 minutes is overkill, but as the update setting is global, 15 minutes is what I want for mail and other calendars.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>
