16 November 2021 - Always Check Yesterday, I decided I needed a CLI tool to check the Anonradio schedule. Essentially my SDF laptop struggles at 2 GB of RAM so browsers are problematic for me and I am often wondering what is on while working. I could jump into COM and check using =. Yet that involves appearing and leaving or being permanently logged in. Neither are what I want. Off I went writing a shell script. I got stuck trying to read .ics files in a sensible manner. My grep and sed abilities are pretty awful. While I faffed around, I tried something.... I typed 'anonradio' in the shell and suddenly the same view as given by '=' in COM appeared. The functionality I was after was already there. Sigh.... Should of tried that at first! Would have saved faffing with Remind too. Lesson is... have a think and check before leaping off the deep end into the technical detail.
