Description

Dashing widget to display the next and some subsequent Google Calendar events using the Google Calendar API v3.

I use this widget to display my shift calendar - see the screenshot below

Set up

This widget works with API v3 and requires a service account to be set up via the Google Developer's Console. Once a project is set up, enable the Calendar API. On the Credentials page create a new OpenID and download the p12 key file - set up the path to this file in the job file and grant the email address access to the relevant calendar.

"Most of the biggest problems in software are problems of misconception."

Rich Hickey in "Hammock Driven Development" at the first Clojure Conj, in Durham, North Carolina on October 23rd, 2010.

“When Jon Skeet's code fails to compile the compiler apologises.” Anonymous
