Calendar (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
A quick post to share something I was looking for for several month: a quick way to see a calendar.
A simple tool using the command line interface is the `cal <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cal_%28Unix%29>`__ command that display a calendar in a terminal. In the archlinux distribution, this command is part of the util-linux package.
Here is a brief illustration:
$ cal -3

UPDATE : Moreover, one can use calendar 1 along with its own shell script(s) to periodically check upcoming events and possibly mail reminders.
