pal - COMMAND LINE Calendar thingy (requires KTERM)

[twobob]

pal is a command-line calendar program for Unix/Linux systems that can keep track of events. It has similarities with the Unix cal command, the more complex GNU gcal program, and the calendar program distributed with the BSDs.

Features:

• A cal-like calendar that highlights days that have events.
• Assign different colors to different types of events.
• Search events with regular expressions (-s).
• Includes calendars for US holidays, Christian holidays, world holidays, historical events and more.
• One-time events and a variety of recurring events are supported (daily, weekly, monthly, yearly). Recurring events can have start and end dates.
• Easy-to-use interface for interactively adding/editing/deleting events (-m).
• Automated deletion of old events (-x).
• Option to generate an HTML calendar (--html) (example).
• Option to generate a LaTeX calendar suitable for printing (--latex) (source, example).

I doubt if I would really use this, but MAYBE if I had leafpad to do the editing, and have it display an html page in the default browser? I probably won't bother with it, but it could be helpful for some.

Thanks for all the hard work you do here!

It was just my way of announcing my birthday.

It's full of fun events actually if you edit /mnt/us/extensions/pal/etc/pal.conf

Blah....

# united states holidays and other events
#file_hide us.pal (red)

# christian events
#file_hide christian.pal (magenta)

# historical events
#file_hide history.pal

# holidays in various countries
#file world.pal

# births/deaths
file_hide birth-death.pal (white)

# computer-related events
# file_hide computer.pal

# music events
#file_hide music.pal

# australian events
#file_hide australia.pal

# lord of the rings events
#file lotr.pal

# pagan events
#file pagan.pal

..... blah

and stick in some of those "pre-mades" by removing the #'s



(for example it is bilbo + frodos BD in 3 days FWIW )

uh - I had to uncomment the last 3 lines of 'check-pal' to make it work like this. default just had me at at the kterm folder directory, where I would have had to cd to ../../pal/ to run ./pal

also, it scrolls all the stuff off the screen. I'll have to see about the html calendar option.

also, did you have trouble with it disconnecting your kindle? I had to reboot twice now to reconnect after running this?

[twobob]

hmm.. no nothing like that.

it's a tiny tiny app that runs via kterm. weird.

I'll test more tomorrow but it has like NO networking impact that I can think of...

I thought maybe the bind mount or something? I'll keep testing also..

[twobob]

okay... so yeah. scrolling stuff of the screen... just swipe the screen up

the amount of junk it prints is configurable.

I've raised a github bug with baf about Kterms PATH handling.
I'll fix up the extension to HAVE the last 3 lines in for now... (in the morrow) DONE

Heroicism.


EDIT: Okay I see what you mean about the bind mount. Took down the top bundle.
will research

[twobob]

bind mount had an errant path.

all fixed. Thanks Brian.
