I've finally put the (rather messy) source of jndcalx on Github for you to grab, fix, and improve on.
jndcalx runs on a computer with installed Lotus Notes (Mac OS X, Windows or Linux) and a Web server, and it creates iCalendar output (.ics) on the fly, without having to manually export and import your calendar. [...]

The initial results were quite promising, and I started adding features such as Todos and UTF-8 support. I also quickly found, that iCalendar unequal iCalendar — [...]
Not a lot of magic is needed to create a proxy autoconfiguration file (PAC) for use in a Web browser, and there is plenty of reference material on the net. Since I didn't find a cheat-sheet at the time, I thought it would be good to have one, and set about writing one over a [...]

HTML.)
After quite a bit of research, almost all of which ended in the [...]
There may be times when you want particular RSS feeds to not be loaded in your
feed reader. Reasons may include:
You don't want to be distracted by news of a particular site during working hours.
URLs of particular feeds shouldn't show up in a customer's logs.
You are obliged to use a caching proxy, and the feed can't [...]
Jason Blevis describes my thoughts quite precisely when we wrote:
It's hard to leave behind the comfort of a system that you are very familiar with, especially when you think about the time you'll spend pouring through manpages to do even the simplest thing in the new system. That was exactly the mental block that kept [...]
