Online Calendar Listings

Short story: The old calendar softtware had unfixable security problems and was disabled to keep the webserver from being hacked. The DNS entry for calendar.austinimprov.com still exists but there's no website associated with it so the webserver returns one of the sites it hosts instead, in this case Cyberbrau.

That said, we're looking for a decent calendar replacement & we're narrowing down the search.

That is one of the weirdest glitches I've ever seen. What host do you use?

It's not so much a glitch as it is unnecessary to fix, since barely anything links to the calendar subdomain. Bob generously hosts everything on his own special machines.

Well, that's too bad... I think an all-in-one calendar of all the improv events in Austin is a good idea. When it was up, how was it maintained? Were the events manually entered, or did it aggregate feeds from Hideout, Coldtown, SVT, etc?

It was all manual. There was some grand scheme to aggregate feeds from everwhere, but everyone uses something different, and it's pretty impossible.

The front page of AustinImprov.com used to have a comprehensive schedule of everything going on in the upcoming week, but that also got harder and harder as the scene expanded.
