Ruby icalendar marshal
I am making a new application and I want to save Ruby Icalendar objects to a file. I am running ruby 1.8.6 (2008-03-03 patchlevel 114) [x86_64-linux] with icalendar gem 1.0.2.

file = File.open("Desktop/basic.ics") #=>  #<File:Desktop/basic.ics>

icals = Icalendar.parse(file) #=> lots of data

Marshal.dump(icals) #=>boom! NoMethodError: Method Name: marshal_dump from /usr/lib64/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/icalendar-1.0.2/lib/icalendar/component.rb:413:in `method_missing'

True be told, I really only care about some of the data in the events. I am going to make an event class call becker_event that can take an icalendar event and allow it to be marshaled.

Icalendar blogging
I am calling icalendar blogging done. iblog.deathbyescalator.com. I don't have a better interface for it. It could easily be styled, add a logo, and give it a proper domain. This was just a flimsy 10 dollar idea.

Most interesting thing learned is how to use the icalendar library and how little you need to learn about atom to use it.
