Even if no one saw it, as you've confirmed with your reply.

Cool! Glad you could make it, and, again, neat to see someone other than me
use my BBS to post things on FSXnet.

I should probably advertise my BBS more, but I still feel like my BBS is a little bit incomplete with its ANSIs, since I don't have quite the
thoroughness of ANSIs as, e.g., The Godfather has with his themes.

But, hey, my calendar is up to 302 ANSIs, and my calculation is that I have
76 ANSIs left for the initial draft.

Needing 76 ANSIs seems like a large project, but seems like significantly
less when it's about 20% of a project.

How many days in your calendar? Lol...

I guess some days have multiple ansis?

But, hey, my calendar is up to 302 ANSIs, and my calculation is that I have
76 ANSIs left for the initial draft.

I guess some days have multiple ansis?

Indeed. To break down my current version:
3 ANSIs based on week of month, day of week (e.g., US Thanksgiving is the 4th Thursday in November)
12 ANSIs so each month has a default ANSI
287 ANSIs based on day/month

Though some of those daily ANSIs are ones that I just set the date for 2020/2021 rather than set the code (e.g., Open that Bottle Night, which is the last Saturday in February).

I also have some code for special days, like Easter, but I haven't actually made ANSIs for that, yet.

My general thought was that I'd do the monthly ones, then do the daily ones, then do ones that shift dates or have weird rules.

But the monthly meant the calendar would show _something_, and with the
dailies done it'll show something different ever day. Then it's just a matter of choosing level of holiday.

So 76 is v1-ish, but I'll probably still want a few more for a couple of
holes, and for the changing-dates holidays.

Indeed. To break down my current version:

Cool! I'm impressed you've gotten so far. That's a lot of ANSIs, I
probably would have given up ages ago - but then that's me if I'm doing something gotta get it done NOW!

lol

Hah! You've certainly accomplished quite a lot, so I'm not at all sure that's true.

I do have plenty of other partially-finished projects. I'm somewhat surprised that I've kept up with the calendar project for as long as I have, but it's nice that the end-ish is in sight.

I do think that the inherent deadlines can help -- I can take days off, but only if I have a buffer.

But at this point, it's kind of a "done NOW!" sort of situation, as I'd like
to get through those last 2.5 months worth of ANSIs as quickly as reasonably possible. I'm on some sort of vacation, and I did 7 ANSIs today. I think
that's at the upper limit of my productivity.

Anyway, I'm endlessly impressed by your Magiterm and BBSing work, and the
work of the others in the community that produce stuff. It's neat when people make things.

Yep, I definitely skipped that one, this year. :)

I might even get to it before I do a fancy implementation of determining
Easter (rather than my current implementation of hardcoding the next ten years.).
