[Dtb-talk] NFB 2009 as text only DAISY

[T. Joseph Carter]

Greg,

Thanks for doing this.  The agenda is large and complex, and this is 
perfect for navigation.  Waiting for Olearia-compatible version, 
which I'm sure you'll post shortly.  ;)

I'm half tempted to make an iCalendar file out of the events.  That 
would be a massively overlapping calendar, visually, but it'd be 
perfect for allowing one to choose how to spend their time by knowing 
where it may be spent.

Speaking of that, have you played with AppleScript much?  I've got 
some interest in ways to import and export iCal/Addressbook 
information from formats that are a little easier to manipulate 
without a mouse.  I found a book, but it's grossly outdated.

Joseph
