Unbelievably, my script to generate a City Hall calendar appropriate for Google Calendar works!

I figured out string interpolation to generate agenda URLs, how to turn the Unix timestamps into appropriate dates and times, and how to string it all together into one script.

It could certainly be made more compact (I couldn't figure out how to nest curl commands right), but it works!

Now I need to figure out how to generate an .ics version, and/or make the Google Calendar…sync-able? Updatable? Because the schedule is obviously a static result and sometimes meetings get rescheduled, added, etc. I don't know a way to do that.

#codeing #TOcouncil #jq

just spent a few hours noodling away in the terminal and made a lot of progress in understanding #jq!

i am very slowly progressing towards generating a calendar file (.ics) of all the #TOcouncil meetings for the year.

it used to be a thing you could download but is no longer. you can download .ics files for individual meetings, but 1) not all at once and 2) they don't have links to the agendas, which are easy to add if you make it yourself

yes i'm sure a knowledgeable person could do this in 5 minutes but i want to *understand* it, and, more importantly, no one has offered to do it for me

pals, 2MMIS has an API so I'm going to have to learn how to, well, work with an API.

like, documentation for other APIs I have seen says stuff like "send GET request to this endpoint" but like, literally how do I do that. what program do I open.

Warum kann man denn standardseitig nur ein Projekt im Google-Blaze-Plan laufen lassen 😒?

Zum Glück ging die Erweiterung schneller als die angekündigten zwei Tage.

I interviewed a software engineer who did COBOL in the 80's, Smalltalk in the early 90's and Java from late 90's until now. I'm only about a decade or so into my career, and I'm realizing that Java is my COBOL. Java now is like COBOL was in the 80s--the programming language for business. What will kill Java? What will end this blight?

Enough with these cool functional programming languages that can barely get any traction. We need a new $BUSINESSLANG.
