Although I enjoy Linux, and my home infrastructure relies on it:
- Self hosted (Fedora 16)
- 2 node KVM/RH Cluster (for hosting KVM Guests/VMs)
- 2 KVM instances running Fedora 15 (soon to be upgraded)
- Keepalived (IPVS) to ensure seamless connectivity from external hosts
- 2nd Cluster between the two KVM guest instances
- Guests/VMs running IMAPD (Dovecot 2) based webmail instances (Multi-instance or “Active/Active”)
- Postfix 2.x based SMTP instances (Multi-instance or “Active/Active”)
- Replicated Master-Master MySQL instances (Multi-instance or “Active/Active”)
- Apache 2.x instance in each KVM (Multi-instance or “Active/Active”)
- Roundcube and Horde as webmail options for users
I also happen to have a few Apple products deployed in my environment. Basically, I got tired of tinkering with Linux for things like music/media/etc and just wanted a plug ‘n play ecosystem where the components “just worked” together with no interaction from me.
I also have a home automation system (Vera2 from www.micasaverde.com) which I have integrated with the Google Calendar service to wake me up in the morning (the lights in the bedroom are gradually made brighter based on a trigger – alert – from Google Calendar). So, I obviously need to be able to edit my calendar alerts based on when I need/want to get up in the morning. And I don’t want to have to bring a laptop to bed in order to do so.
Also, since the wake-up alerter isn’t really an appointment I’d like to keep in my regular calendar, I created a secondary private Google Calendar instance for this purpose.
Then I attempted to make my iPhone access this secondary Google Calendar…
It took a little searching (there are a lot of incorrect, old, articles on this subject it seems), but I managed to find the following link which helps me select which of the calendars should be visible on an Apple iPad or iPhone device.
