Hi Reece,

I've used that combo in the past but lately have reverted to using the Google calendar web app simply because I couldn't be bothered reinstalling it after getting a fresh install of Ubuntu. Works well but in a multi user environment we had some trouble. Not sure why but seemed to be around dismissing reminders and the calendar switching into read only mode. However this aside the combo is good and supports multiple calendars.
