I have been thinking about writing this tutorial for my readers for sometimes. I find no one offering the best solutions to take Google calendar with you while you are offline. I have seem people reading about how to sync Thunderbird between computers. That is one of of the most popular post on this blog. I am so glad that many people have enjoyed the benefits from that post.
Now I found no one posting the tips and tricks about how to sync Google Calendar with Thunderbird and Lighting, so you can take Google Calendar with you while traveling. Most of the information you found on the Internet are all about how to sync with Google calendar with HTTP sync while you are on the Internet. The problem is that when you unplug your computer from the Internet or shutdown your wireless access, you lost the calendar. You can’t modify or add event at all.
This is where Thunderbird and Lighting come to rescue.
