iCal Daf Yomi
From Wikipedia: Daf Yomi (Heb. דף יומי “page [of the] day” or “daily folio”) is a daily regimen undertaken to study the entire Talmud Bavli one daf (i.e. two actual pages), one day at a time, so that it can be completed in a cycle of seven and a half years.
I started the cycle a bit late, but have caught up. To help me keep track I created a iCal compatible calendar that will insert a reminder for each day’s reading. It also has some links to common resources. It is configurable to take 2 URL parameters and will subscribe the item for 2 days in the past and 12 days in the future. Once in iCal edit the URL to change to your needs. There are other options available to use this application in others applications. Write to me if you want to use the webservice or plain HTML.
Right now I am reworking this in PHP from Java. I have some bugs to work out for it to run correctly on my shared server. It works fine locally on my dev box. If you want the code, let me know.
The basis of this work is a derivative of the code by Bob Newell and I thank him for sending me his C code.
