quick and easy calendar
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.

This morning, I found the default behavior of the mclapply() function not quite different from the one of the lapply(). After quick investigation, I found is was due to an option not correctly set: the number of core to use.
