It's just wrong isn't it? It says Jan 20 is a Tuesday. It isn't.
May 20th is also not a Thursday.

#52For 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... [1]: h…
not having the days of the week in close visual proximity to the dates makes utilizing this layout pretty tedious, imo.

#54Can someone ELI5?
Pick a month on the top, pick a day of the month on the left, find the day of the week in the row/column intersection.

#55These upvotes prove that there is opportunity for products to be clever, but not simple. For every windows like product, there is an opportunity for command line tool.

#56This is pretty clever and I admire the author for coming up with an elegant way to show the mapping of week days to dates. I'd be particularly interested to see the algorithm behind it. Date computations are very tricky.
A few years ago I made script to generate a one page calendar because the ones they hand out at work are particularly ugly. In addition to showing the dateweekday mapping I also wanted it to show holidays and pay periods. This is one of the (few) things stuck on my wall.

What do you mean “open source”? XLS is the (previously proprietary) format used by older versions that’s (basically) just serialized structs. XLS X (which I see here) is the ZIP/XML based version based on an open standard[0][1]. LibreOffice opens those just fine from my experience; It’s the older binary format that LibreOffice can screw up with formatting. [0]: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML [1]: ECM…
You are right although as I understood it, the MS standard is exceedingly complicated, some would say in an attempt to "obfuscate" it.
In any case, this specific excel template states that it requires Excel 2007 and might misbehave if using any other program such as OpenOffice or Google Sheets:
> Please note that Microsoft Excel 2007 or newer is required. Other software like Open Office, Google Docs, and Numbers may import the Excel spreadsheet, but due to differences in the way they handle dates you should double-check that the calendars are correct.

Clever but not simple? I have a hard time believing that people want to sacrifice simplicity for cleverness. But I see your point about people preferring a CLI than a web portal. I guess simplicity is in the eye of the beholder. What's simple for me, can often be wizardry for my dad.

not open source (and not the above calendar), but similar and useful if you're not on windows:
