So, he watched his favorites DVDs, while I had Google Reader in play mode with slide show enabled and side by side windows.

The organization where I work uses a Flash Calendar to show holidays, special day activities and other public calendar. The Flash Calendar loads its events from a XML file which, in our case, is keeped really up to date. So I was willing to view those events on my Google Calendar screen, to better plan my meatings and so on. After that, I had written a small wrapper to parse the XML and echo iCal output. It still not fully compatible with Flash Calendar XML, but for the uses of my organization is enougth. I did put it on github. https://github.com/filipi/swfcalendar2iCalWrapper

After two posts about the last Tron Legacy movie ( Web Fonts, emacs, Tron Legacy and Interface design ), and trying to make a Tron theme for my web apps. I decided to google for a Tron CSS theme...
