I didn’t like that Facebook didn’t include reminders by default on their event feeds (that I added to Google Calendar).

After I built this, I realized Google Calendar, which I use for my scheduling, already supports assigning reminders to iCal feeds. I probably will not contribute much to this now, but it was worth the learning experience!

I just used RoR to write my own wrapper that does this.

Dependencies: Rails 2.3.5

After downloading the code, running rake gems:install should take care of the dependencies.

I used Log4R, so edit config.environments/development.rb or production.rb. to control where the logging goes. As of this writing, I hadn’t looked into stopping the log tailing function of rails that looks for development.log/production.log so that’s what I’ve versioned these files.

Once you’re up and running, use this URL to run the wrapper

http://localhost:3000/user/yourFacebookUID/facebook/events?key=yourFacebookKey&minutes=25
