Exporting Outlook calendar as .ical/ics

Posted 05-13-2011 at 07:36 AM by catkin

Tags ical, ics, outlook

Hello

This falls into two steps: firstly exporting an Outlook calendar as .ical files and secondly turning those .ical files into a .ics file.

The technique was used with Outlook 2003 running on Windows XP (as part of a migration to Xfce's calendar, Orage). It probably works with other versions and OSes too.

Thanks and acknowledgements to BlueDevilFan who posted the original VBA macro at Experts Exchange where it is no longer visible (but may be...

Ruby: configuration file parsing utility

Posted 04-18-2011 at 11:12 AM by catkin

Tags configuration, file, parse, parsing, ruby

Netsearching found three options for Ruby to parse configuration files:

YAML is powerful but I felt the the configuration file format was too complex for end-users. YAML example.
drks' ParseConfig was not powerful enough for my needs.
Hans' parse_config was also not powerful enough for my needs.

So I rolled my own and offer it here for community use. I was delaying publishing because it is not finished (there are TODOs in the code) but it works well enough and may never be finished so better...
