It would be useful if someone wrote a little script that visited Manchester Academy and took all the gigs and posted them to a google calendar. Should not be that hard using one of the libraries provided by google if you dont want to do the whole XML/HTTP stuff yourself(probably a good idea)
running IronPython on linux should be simple as:
mono ipy.exe
IronPython 1.0.60725 on .NET 2.0.50727.42

>>> import clr
>>> clr.AddReference("gdata.dll")
>>> import Google.GData.Client as GDClientonce you downloaded it(and installed mono)
This does not work, some funky problems with IronPython and mono. Wanted to give mono and .Net a go but if they dont work....typical M$ shit?
Jython
Using the java lib provided by google seems to work!
Ideas
not quite sure what to do about gigs that get moved in time/location
