Backpack Calendar and Reminder scripts for Quicksilver

I decided to take the backpack calendar and reminder scripts and make them a bit easier to set up. The functionality is essentially the same as the old ones, and there isn't really a reason to upgrade if you have them set up already (as far as I recall).

I did learn some new information about the reminder scripts, though. The information I had before allowed for setting reminders by setting the number of minutes in the future you wanted the reminder to be. I've since learned that you can also set a specific time, as long as it's on the same day. You can't use this to set reminders for future dates, so the calendar script is better for that. The syntax for the reminder script is either "+120 Reminder Text" or "5pm Reminder Text."

The syntax for the calendar isn't much different. "5pm tomorrow Do something" or "5pm 3/1 Do something else." You can also do all-day or multi-day events by leaving off the time, as in "3/1 Do something" or "3/3-3/12 Do something."

Unlike the previous scripts, I've broken out the user specific information into the beginning of the script to make it easier to set up. You'll need to replace the values YOURAPIKEY, YOURACCOUNT, and for the calendar YOURCALENDARID. To find the calendar ID, you'll have to view the source of the Calendar page and look for something like this:

/calendars/9999/edit',

The number in that link is your Calendar ID. If you have more than one calendar, there will be multiple. They are followed closely in the same line of code by the calendar name so you can tell them apart.

You can download these scripts here.
