Hi,

I wrote this console app to import your facebook events (like qgl lans) into outlook. Office 2003 & 2007 are supported. Its part of a project im doing to make some $.

Install instructions are download the zip, extract, and run fb_console.exe

You'll need the dot net 3.5 framework too.

Features to come will include birthdays as all day events & settings for adding reminders etc.

2003
and 2007

Contact sync is next, even though there is outsync, but I have some more features to add.

Not sure how much Id trust downloading an exe off here, so feel free to run it in a VM or test machine and post your comments back. Enjoy.

Can't you already click "export" and it will download a file for you? Or does this do a sync?

yeah, does the sync

These events would be those events that people invite you to wouldn't they?

yes.

very cool... works really well

do have request though... be able to just put Attending events on there not just maybe events... as option or something... but liking it :)

I do Facebook Events to Google Calendar. I'm not sure I see much benefit in going straight to outlook.

Thanks TiT.

Yeah, had thought of that. It only does future events and looks for duplicats too, but ill get that in.

Well, its a start. If you use active sync or exchange, then itll sync with your phone. Im writting it as a wm app too, incase you never sync with outlook.

Fair enough, keep up the good work. This sort of functionality was exactly what I was looking for before Google implemented it for me.

making facebook a better place to stalk through apps. thanks!

Now you can make me a program that unblocks Facebook at work because that is the only place I use outlook...

was thinking about doing a cross sync, outlook facebook desktop / phone.

i am guessing its a facebook thing... but i found it put all my events on the day after the event... anyone can confirm?

yep, it seems to store the dates as US central time. I've just made a fix for it, and ill post it soon.
