In my <a href=\"http:\/\/irreal.org\/blog\/?p=5839\">first<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/irreal.org\/blog\/?p=5846\">two<\/a> posts on this, we looked at how Rainer K&ouml;nig and Mike Zamansky imported their Google Calendars into their Org agendas. Maughan has a slightly different use case. He uses his Org agenda to track tasks and his calendar for appointments and he doesn&rsquo;t want the appointments in his agenda. <\/p>\n<p> Still, like many hardcore Emacs users, he&rsquo;d like to do as much as possible in Emacs so he wanted a way to read his Google calendar from Emacs without importing it into the agenda. He found a nice way of doing this with <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/insanum\/gcalcli\">gcalcli<\/a>, a utility that allows you to access a Google calendar from the command line. With just a little bit of glue code and some extra processing to take care of colors, he can import his calendar into an Emacs buffer. <\/p>\n<p> If you&rsquo;re a &ldquo;live in Emacs&rdquo; person who also uses Gcal, this is a nice way of staying in Emacs even as you check your calendar. The system provides a view of the calendar only; you can&rsquo;t interact with it as you can with Zamansky&rsquo;s method. See Maughan&rsquo;s post for the details. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ben Maughan has a post that represents another way of integrating Gcal into Emacs.
