This is a neat use of shell and I'd probably go back to using this if I didn't have to share all my calendars with colleagues and family members.

I used to more or less do this and even modify my .plan[1] file when finger(1) and .plan were actually a thing. The modern equivalent seems to be to have a page at the path /now on your website and I dig it.

Been giving calendar.txt a third try since discovering it back in 2023. I got an LLM to code me up a simple graphical front end that makes working with a calendar.txt file a bit more palatable. So far, so good.
