 We we just did our hangout our cord cutting hangout for everybody that came that was awesome We had a great time. We're gonna be doing a I think a mesh Wi-Fi one is coming up next Well, we'll schedule that and put it out But we did it last Saturday and it worked out really well what didn't work out was we sent out an email ahead of time of course telling everybody that we were doing this and Telling you you could join the discord and get the zoom link there or just subscribe to the Mackie Keb calendar And then lots of you as has happened over the years told us that the Mackie Keb calendar gave you an error What we used to do with the calendar up until a couple of days ago Was if you went to Mackie Keb comm slash calendar It would redirect to a shared iCloud calendar apples like whole like the URL that Apple tells you to use when you Want to share a calendar publicly with people? Totally not doing anything that you're not supposed to do work in the way. It's supposed to work Except it didn't So I was frustrated about this some people could get the calendar other people would just get like an error It wouldn't like the server would just decline the request. It's like what the heck's going on. She and I thought it was me Right. No, it's it's not you so What we have done is I thought okay. This is this is untenable. This is insanity We need to control this widget, but I don't want to stop using iCloud calendar because we like the way it works Internally for us. We just want to be able to share it which Apple says we can do anyway So I put Lucas on the job In the midst of doing this job Lucas took the Mackie Keb website offline for a little bit on Monday accidentally But you know these things happen move fast break things But what he he did is wrote a script to that now pulls Apple's calendar URL once every 15 minutes and when it gets success It saves it to our website So we are caching Apple's calendar and I feel like our server. This is a weird phrase that I'm about to utter our server is more reliable than Apples that doesn't make any sense to me that I'm saying those words, but Empirically I have proven it as have you you've all experienced it So if you are if you have been subscribed to the calendar before let's say It's actually it was about a week ago, so It's worth unsubscribing and resubscribing is it it does redirect to a different URL now if you if you subscribe previously What would have happened is you would go tell it Mackie Keb comm slash calendar It then redirected you to Apple's server and your calendar app would remember the Apple's server Address that is still the correct address. It just doesn't answer all the time. You can still use it if you want It's not going to be wrong. It just might not be fun to use so resubscribe just visit Mackie Keb comm slash calendar that'll redirect you to our Cache of it, which is what your calendar software will remember and then you're good to go. Here's the fascinating thing guys Now that we have a script running to do this. We decided to have it spit out a log Every time it successfully gets the calendar because I wanted to know like how often is it error? Like how much what do we need to do here to get this to work? The calendar starts answering at 655 p.m. Eastern time every day It stops answering somewhere between 8 and 9 a.m. Eastern time every day between those hours it answers flawlessly I don't know what to say about that. Yeah, right. Okay. Yeah, exactly yep Yep, and I've never seen it fail in the evening hours and I've never seen it succeed in the daytime hours So it's not like there's some Overload that you might get through or whatever it never gets through During the daylight hours and it always gets through during the nightlight hours. So I this is like But Mackie comm slash calendar folks That's where you're gonna go Subscribe and then you'll know when we're doing the live shows and you will know when our live hangouts are and all of that good stuff
