Incorrect Dates for February 2009

While reviewing the web calendar I generate with remind, I noticed that
 it shows February 2009 beginning on a Monday and ending on a Sunday
(overlapping the first day of March). February 2009 actually begins on a
Sunday and ends on a Saturday. January is correct, and so is March and
the following months.

I get the same results from versions 03.01.03 and 03.01.06.

Update: The output using -c+10 displays the correct dates in the
terminal, so it must be a problem with my heavily customized rem2html
script.

rem2html has been completely rewritten; please try the latest version
from 03.01.06.  From the release notes for 03.01.04:

- BUG FIX: rem2html would output a horribly-wrong calendar for a 28-day
  February starting on Sunday (such as February 2009.)  This has been fixed.

Regards,

David.

Terrific, that fixed it. Thanks.

UK Christmas bank holidays

I have created a list of OMITs for UK bank holidays. However, Christmas
is a bit tricky.

We always get 2 bank holidays regardless on which day Christmas falls:
- If Christmas Day falls on a Friday, Friday and Monday will be bank
holidays.
- If Christmas Day falls on a Saturday, Monday and Tuesday will be bank
holidays.
- If Christmas Day falls on a Monday to Thursday, the bank holidays
will be on Christmas Day and Boxing Day respectively.

How can the OMITs be expressed?

For Christmas Day, I figured the following:

REM Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri 25 Dec SCAN [trigger(today()-8)] SATISFY 1
OMIT trigger(trigdate())

So, if Christmas falls on a weekday, you get that day off plus the
next weekday.  And if it falls on a weekend, you get the following
Monday and Tuesday off.  Correct?  So... this should work:

#========================================================================
REM 25 Dec SCANFROM [trigger(today()-7)] OMIT SAT SUN AFTER SATISFY 1
OMIT [trigger(trigdate())] MSG Christmas Bank Holiday

REM 26 Dec SCANFROM [trigger(today()-7)] OMIT SAT SUN AFTER SATISFY 1
OMIT [trigger(trigdate())] MSG Boxing Day Bank Holiday
#========================================================================

Be careful... they have to appear in exactly that order, because if
Christmas falls on a weekend, then the first OMIT sets the stage for
the Boxing Day bank holiday moving to the Tuesday.  Yes, it's tricky...

Regards,

David.

"too many full OMITs"???

Hello,

for scheduling my private activities I have a recurring entry for "work"
and a bunch of OMIT's for each day I've vacation (BTW: unfortunatly ranges
don't seem to work with OMIT):

 PUSH
  OMIT May 22 2009 MSG vacation
  [...other vacation days...]
  REM mon thu wed tue fri SKIP AT 8:00 DURATION 9:00 CAL work
 POP

But when I entered this years schedul I got:

 warp:~$ grep OMIT ~/.reminders | wc -l
 112
 warp:~$ remind -q
 /home/bj/.reminders(199): Too many full OMITs

So I'm in need of an alternative or a fix. 

FYI: It's remind version 03.00.24 (as included in debian etch) I'm using.

Rainer

I'd recommend upgrading to Remind 3.1.6 and rewriting your reminders
to use computed OMITs.  Or, you can recompile Remind to increase
MAX_FULL_OMITS.  (In fact, I believe 3.1.6 increases it from 75 to 250,
which might be all you need.)

Regards,

David.

Thanks for your hint. Looking at OMITFUNC I've been remembered of SATISFIY
(which is sufficient for this case):

 FSET between(x,a,b)     (x>=a && x <=b)

 FSET vacation_2009(x) ( 0 \
        || between(x, '2009-3-6', '2009-3-23' )\
        || between(x, '2009-7-30', '2009-8-2' )\
        )

 FSET vacation(x) ( vacation_2009(x) || vacation_2008(x))
 REM SATISFY [ vacation(today()) ] MSG vacation
 REM mon thu wed tue fri SKIP \
        AT 8:00 DURATION 9:00 \
        SATISFY [!vacation(today())] \
        CAL work

Oh, yeah, removing last year's stuff was too easy ;)
