Colophon:
For the 2020-2021 file I typed the entries directly into
Calendar.app on my Mac, massaging data into "nice" entries.
For the 2019-2020 file I typed the entries directly into
Calendar.app on my Mac.
For the 2018-2019 file I typed the entries directly into
Calendar.app on my Mac.
For the 2017-2018 file I typed the entries directly into Calendar on my Mac.
For the 2016-2017 file I typed the entries directly into Calendar on my Mac.
For the 2015-2016 file I typed the entries directly into Calendar on my Mac.
For the 2015-2016 file I again typed the entries directly into iCal. As with last year, typing it in was easier than trying to customize the searchable events page to the limited list of events found on the Academic Calendar Page. Using the search string
Academic Calendar
was close though...
For the 2014-2015 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right? I suppose I might have used the searchable events page, but the default gave me waay more than I wanted..
For the 2013-2014 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right
For the 2012-2013 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right ;-]
For the 2011-2012 file I typed the entries directly into iCal, that's what computers are for, right
