			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve recently become enamored with Google Calendar and have been using it to keep tabs of everything. When I start attending NC State next fall I will attempt to use MyPack as little as possible. By doing so I lose the ability to see the upcoming events on the <a href="http://calendar.activedatax.com/ncstate/EventList.aspx?fromdate=6/1/2009&#038;todate=6/30/2009&#038;display=Month&#038;view=DateTime"> public events calendar</a>. The school publishes an RSS feed of the calendar but I really want to be able to access the calendar in Thunderbird and Google Calendar.</p>
<p>My searching led me to <a href="http://www.blogtender.com/2007/05/display-an-rss-feed-in-ical/">this page</a> which gave some code for parsing an RSS feed into a compatible ICS file. After some heavy modifications I was able to set up an <a href="http://jamesrohal.com/public/rss2ics/ncstate.ics">iCalendar file</a> I could subscribe to. I used an online <a href="http://severinghaus.org/projects/icv/">iCalendar validator</a> to make sure everything worked when I finished. </p>
<p>Hope this might be useful to someone else until NC State decides to publish their own ICS file.</p>
<p><strong>Update:</strong> For those interested in keeping track of the <a href="http://www.math.ncsu.edu/">mathematics department at NC State</a>, I used the <a href="http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/">PHP Simple HTML DOM Parser</a> to generate <a href="http://jamesrohal.com/public/mathcal/ncmath.ics">their calendar</a> as an ICS file that you may subscribe to. It simply scrapes the data from the <a href="http://www.math.ncsu.edu/events/calendar.php">mathematics calendar</a>.</p>
