- Source code? - Is this generated using a known algorithm? Can the same trick be applied to other years? Very cool idea!

It looks like it's currently manual, considering the double date on the 18th

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Probably copy paste error. There are two of 18.

How does one change the year then?

First, you create the universe.

Then you build a new year of the calendar.

For the last 3 years I've been printing several copies of the Compact Calendar by David Seah [1]. It's as its name implies a compact form calendar that spans the whole year in a single page, and leaves enough side space to annotate stuff as needed.

It's very cool and useful, although it would be nice having an open-source based version (i.e. LibreOffice), for those of us that don't have an MS Office license...

(not sure why but upon checking the website I'm seeing all text and links scrambled in the page, probably the author inadvertently broke it during an update)

Wow I just discovered that it's uBlock Origin that totally breaks the page layout. Which means that for some reason this page's CSS are detected as an ad source, and blocked! Curious, as it seems to be a plain and simple static site.

EDIT: It is the "AdGuard Annoyances" optional list, which is disabled by default but I like to enable: https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/adguard-ad-filters#annoyan...

This is super cool. Since I usually read Month, Date, Year - would've been awesome if the months/day was on the left. Took me a minute to read it - but makes a lot of sense.

how in the holy hell do you read this?

there are only 5 dates columns; how do you read days in month columns 6 and 7 (feb aug mar nov)?

am i suppossed to matrix multiply this thing or what. im not normally too dumb for things but boy this is totally opaque to me.
