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.

So I sit here in the car on Rt. 17 heading to my girlfriend’s dad’s house and realize I am probably the only person who does 3-D modeling in the car. I have no choice, I have a modeling and simulation case study due tomorrow and a Multivariate Calculus test tomorrow as well. Need to use my time wisely. 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.

Well I found some free time today and its been sitting in the back of my mind to write this little program.  So far so good.  I have the uploader working to my satisfaction as far as bouncing back bad files.  Now I need to tie it in with users for security.  The next thing I need to do is add the column configuration to the uploader.  This is so that users can set what columns are what for differently formatted CSV files.  Right now it is generically setup very similar to the CSV to iCal converter I wrote for my school’s calendar system.  I hope to have everything but the security done tonight, although I’ve been known to surprise myself with how fast I can code sometimes.  But right now I’ve got some useless Economics Homework to do.  So we shall see.

So I’ve decided I am going to write a csv to iCal(ics) converter for everybody to use.  It is going to require a bit of input from the user to define what columns are what but I think its possible.  If you are looking for one immediately please drop me a line and I’ll work on it all that much faster.  Otherwise its gonna hang on the back burner for a while.  Right now I’m a bit worried about security and anonymous file uploads.  Maybe I’ll link it to users here so I can track who has access to it and control any problems there might be.  I need to design a decent web interface for it too so it will be usable to the average user.  Otherwise there isn’t much of a point to making it ifi people can’t use it.  Gotta figure something out for this one.  Get to me if you need it fast.
