I needed to send details of a meeting to a few people, so I thought, what's a quick, easy way of doing that? hCalendar is obviously an easy way to type up the details, and iCalendar is good for people to be able to add it to their calendars.

So what I needed was an easy way to publish an event in hCalendar and a way for people to add that to their calendar software without downloading a microformat parser.

Introducing Cognition + pastebin!

Type up the hCalendar:

        http://pastebin.com/m57fe450e

(Yes, you need the surrounding <html>...</html> tags right now. I'm working on a fix.)

And instant iCalendar!

        http://srv.buzzword.org.uk/icalendar/PB:m57fe450e

E-mail the latter URL to everyone, and they can add the event to their calendars with one click!

("PB:" is a little macro I've made which expands to "http:// pastebin.com/pastebin.php?dl=". It is case-sensitive.)
