P90X Calendar Generator

Hi fellow MFP-ers! I have done P90X a few times (I know, how did I manage to commit to that!?) and I found myself more than once wanting a calendar I could use in Google Calendar (or Outlook). There are web sites out there that can make them but I didn't want the events to be set at a specific time. I just wanted to know what I had to do today. So I ended up making my own tool and putting up the source code on SourceForge. Check it out and give me any feedback--unless it becomes overwhelming, of course :) .

https://sourceforge.net/projects/p90xtool/

It can also create calendars from any list of events you might want. Simply make a text file, each line is its own event, choose the drop-down in the application to use text file, and a calendar will be generated with each item on consecutive days. To skip a day, put "[SKIP]" on that line.

Aside from creating calendar files, it can also insert gaps into existing files. I ended up injuring myself more than once during my P90X journey and had to take a week off to recoup. So I added a feature to push all the remaining exercises out so that I could start where I left off. Side note: I haven't really tested how the updated calendar affects an existing calendar when you re-import it. It is supposed to update existing events. I know it doesn't work right in Outlook but it might in Google. Worst case, delete your old calendar, import the modified one.

Hope you find it useful!
