Yesterday, I decided I needed a CLI tool to check the Anonradio
schedule. Essentially my SDF laptop struggles at 2 GB of RAM so
browsers are problematic for me and I am often wondering what is on
while working. I could jump into COM and check using =. Yet that
involves appearing and leaving or being permanently logged in. Neither
are what I want. Off I went writing a shell script. I got stuck trying
to read .ics files in a sensible manner. My grep and sed abilities are
pretty awful. While I faffed around, I tried something.... I typed
'anonradio' in the shell and suddenly the same view as given by '=' in
COM appeared. The functionality I was after was already there.
Sigh.... Should of tried that at first! Would have saved faffing with
Remind too. Lesson is... have a think and check before leaping off the
deep end into the technical detail.
