The transformation from a calendar file to a post is something I hope to have totally automated one day, as a proof of concept. Character encoding is obviously a problem, but an interesting challenge (many of the calendar files are written in, well, languages.) Note also that these are

formatted lines (I won’t say what “DL” stands for) and you can’t tell this, but the formatting is not correct there either.Someday I hope to be able to type:calendar -option | formatter | uploader.pyor better yet, have cron do that every two days forever.

Your text is in UTF-8, but Firefox treats it as ISO-8859-1, because a meta tag in the page template says so. And the -1 version should be replaced with -15 that includes the euro sign.The encodings have bugged me some time, because they bork the sexy umlaut in my name. The only way to get it correctly is to post directly, not via the preview window.

DEC 01
First Sunday of Advent (4th Sunday before Christmas)

Silly me, I’d figured that the first Sunday in Advent would fall on … don’t get ahead of me here … a Sunday.I always wondered about Linux. 🙂
