These are 2 scripts I use for calendaring in plain text files. The calendar consists of 2 files:
- `calendar_archive.txt` contains all the days before current day.
- `calendar.txt` shows the current day at the top and continues down as far as the number of months that have been rendered. My calendar contains events and tasks for the current day. A typical day might look like:

Events are at the top with a space inbetween them and the tasks for the day are below without spaces. As tasks and events are completed I move them to just below the day, sometimes with little notes. At the end of the day any uncompleted tasks will either get copied to the next day or migrated into my kanban task list in Obsidian. Then after midnight or next morning I run `calendarchive.sh` and start again for the next day.

I've been calendaring this way since fall of 2019.
I sync the notes between computers with SyncThing and edit them via Notational Velocity, TextEdit or Gedit, depending on what computer I'm on. In the future I think I might merge this plaintext notes folder with my markdown project notes in Obsidian.

calendarender takes one argument and that's the number of months in the future you'd like to render. So say it's currently some day in November and I want to add the days in January to my calendar.txt, I would run `calendarender 2`. It then prints to the terminal as well as to the file.
Each day is rendered with `moon phase, day of the week, month, and day of the month`. Moon phases that are printed are: new, full, crescents and halfs. On any day that isn't one of those phases a sun is printed. If it's waxing an up-arrow will be printed, waning, down-arrow. It's not the _most_ accurate moon-phase algorithm but close enough for me :)
