The other week I made a calendrical display for the eink thing I have. The problem is that I don’t really use a calendar — I guess the main reason is because I hate planning, but the other reason is because I really dislike all the calendar entry interfaces I’ve used.I haven’t used all that many, though, so I may well be missing some ingenious calendar out there. But what I’ve been resentfully using is the standard Google calendar on Android.I filmed one of my interactions with this thing, and I swear — I didn’t try to make it more awkward than it is for me:I’d be climbing up the walls if I were to try to use it more than I do now — I just put the absolute bare necessities in there, like dentist appointments and Boris shows. (One coming up in November!)But now I have this calendar in the hall… wouldn’t it be nice to have it display more stuff? Stuff that I really should be remembering, anyway?There’s also org-gcal, if you’re in the Org ecosystem… but… I’m not.Does a command line interface to Google Calendar work? Because I want to have the calendar in my pocket, too. And… Yes, there’s gcalcli. (Which I noticed hasn’t been updated for two years and is probably going to be deprecated, but it works for now, so I haven’t bothered to redo my code.)After going through the byzantine process on Google Cloud Console to create an “application”:Yes! You have to create a logo! Behold my magnificent logo!Anyway, after all that… tada:Yes! The system works!It does the normal Do What I Mean Thing — “fri 9” means “next Friday at 9am”, and “aug 11 1930” means “half past seven on August 11”, etc:I’m freee! I never have to enter a calendar entry on the mobile phone ever again!I’ve put the resulting code on Microsoft Github.
