Bulk add google calendar events using GoogleCL

Just wrote a quick ruby script a create a Birthday calendar for a list of contacts.

Note: To see your Google contacts' birthdays in Google Calendar, you can just use the "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar gadget.

For this, I want to automate creation of google calendar events, based on information available in a csv file (row - name, birthday).

The above script reads a csv file and creates events using googlecl. For this to work, you need to have googlecl installed. We create events using the same way that we create events using Google Calendar 'Quick Add'.

DevDerby 2010

Participated in the DevDerby 2010 programming competition today. I worked on the front-end as part of the Python group.

The goal was to:

Build a web based python application where volunteers and
volunteer groups can sign up and offer their volunteer efforts to
non-pit organizations who need the help.  The hope is that this will
augment existing solutions like the Bloomington Volunteer Network:

Screenshots of the working prototype.

Although this is far from complete, the focus is on building a decent looking web app, within the 6 hours of time available. Worked on this along with Charles Brandt (consultant from IU) and Vijay (postdoc from IUPUI). Also, we had the help from a couple of kids (13 year and 15 year old) - Very impressed with their enthusiasm and how much they know.
