Discordian iCal calendar
Since I was playing around with Date modules a bit, I decided to conjure up some iCal files for the Discordian calendar, which chronicles the Year of Our Lady Discord, as described in the Principia Discordia.
With the goal eliminating any kind of dependency on actions by me to generate the calendar files, I just pregenerated them for the whole 21st century.
The files are stored at /discordian/$year.ical, with $year ranging from 2001 (which was the real start of the century and the millenium) to 2100.
For the sake of easy access — and as an experiment to see what Google’ll make of it — I’ve compiled a handy table so you can just click for the file you want.
Feel free to include this on your Google calendar (will make for an interesting traffic study) or redistribute it with a kudos to me, linking to this page (http://ydal.de/discordian-ical/). Copyright shouldn’t be an issue since this compilation does not exceed the Schöpfungshöhe, but I’ll declare them to be CC-BY-DE 3.0 just in case.
HAIL the glory, thank you I was just going to try update my old manual discordian days google cal.
Thorght id search first and there you go =) I Love you.
I still use the old DDate app of course but thats windows only and I don’t do windows much now.
Would be cool to get an extened edision with random quotes from the princpla, and the other new type rip of versions ;)
Hello, towo.
What’s happening? Uh… we have sort of a problem here. Yeah. You apparently didn’t put St. Tib’s Day in the right places in the ical files.
I’m sure you’re sorry about that and you just forgot.
Mmmm, yeah. You see, they’re putting leap days quadrennially now before end of February. Did you see the memo about this?
Yeah, I know you know and you just forgot. Besides, 2012 is far off, so there’s no problem.
Yeah. If you could just go ahead and fix the files (if you still got the script), that will be great.
And uh, I’ll go ahead and make sure you get another copy of that memo. Mmmm, ok?
