Uh... the scripts are not exactly production-ready.  I'll attach
redacted versions.

Google Calendar has a way for you to make a private link to your
calendar that pulls it down in ical format.  Under Settings > Settings
for my calendars > Get shareable link, you make the link.  Keep that secret.

So the shell script update-cal-from-google pulls down the calendar
in ical format, and the Perl script ical-to-rem.pl converts it to Remind
format.  I run update-cal-from-google every 30 minutes from cron.

THESE SCRIPTS ARE SPECIFIC TO MY SETUP and will need tweaking to be
generally useful!  They are badly-commented and not production-ready.
Use at your own risk.

Regards,

Dianne.
