This shindig was more or less a publicity event for the book “Break Through: From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility”.  The authors, Ted Nordhaus and Michael Shellenberger, debated with New York Times Reporter Andrew Revkin over certain aspects of climate change, technology affecting it, and politics.  Basically they sit on their high horse and tell us what we are doing wrong, why there is so little that can be done about it, and what George Bush has done wrong.

Well, I decided it was best to open it up to all.  Now you just navigate on over to http://www.thegreatco.com/csvtoical/ and you can get started converting those pesky useless CSV files to useful iCalendar (ics iCal) files.  Hope this helps you all out.  As always, if you find problems leave a comment or drop an email.

So, I think I have finally completed it.  It authenticates against my userbase and does everything I feel it needs to do at a minimum.  Feel free to check it out.  http://www.thegreatco.com/csvtoical/login.php You will need to sign up for an account on my blog to get access to it.  But it is free and I am just using the login as a little extra security.  Let me know what you think.

I finished all the actual modeling and simulations last night without looking at the results. Now that I look at the results, I realize they may be a bit off.

Well its once again late into the night and I haven’t done half the shit I’m supposed to do.  The last thing I am working on that is holding me back from releasing the general CSV to iCal converter is good old security.  I am throwing it back and forth in my head if I want to password protect it or not (I would link it to accounts here).  This is just an extra layer of protection, not much.  But at least then I would have the ability to block somebody from using it if they are abusing it or whatever.

We shall see.
