Thanks, I cannot get to the videos for another few days. I like to
break things :)

Can certain Akonadi resources be declared Read Only? I do not want the
Google calendar to _ever_ be able to update/add/erase/modify my
calendar or contacts. I only want the information to be readable
there, I don't need mistakes in Google being propagated to my "master
copy".

Thanks.
