Per the suggestion of a user, I’ve added Hebrew translations to the Interactive Calendar for the following 3 optional features:
Here’s a sample of what it looks like:
2nd of Sivan, 5763 / ב׳ בְּסִיוָן תשס״ג
46th day of the Omer / מ״ו בְּעוֹמֶר
Got this email from Tellme today:
Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2003 01:10:11 -0800 (PST) From: Tellme Studio <developer@tellme.com> To: michael@... Subject: Tellme Studio program change VoiceXML Developer, Tellme has made many investments in VoiceXML over the past four years. One of these investments was in the Extensions program, with the goal of making VoiceXML a more utilized public standard. Now with VoiceXML well on its way to standardization in the W3C and with hundreds of thousands of VoiceXML applications in production, it is clear that investment has paid off. It is time for us to retire the Extensions program and invest in other areas. As of Wednesday, April 9th we will no longer host Extensions on 1-800-555-TELL or http://studio.tellme.com. Developers can continue to build VoiceXML applications on Tellme Studio. Thank you for your individual contribution in making VoiceXML the most widely-used and successful voice standard in the world. The Tellme Development Team
Last week I fixed a bug in yahrzeit calculations in the hebcal website.
According to Calendrical Calculations by Edward M. Reingold and Nachum Dershowitz, the yarhzeit of someone who passed away in Adar of an ordinary year or Adar II of a leap year is also always in the last month of the year, be that Adar or Adar II.
The hebcal.com website previously displayed those anniversaries as occurring in Adar I. Hebcal for Unix 3.3beta10 also contains this fix.
We’ve added support for exporting Hebcal data to Lotus Notes and Apple iCal.
Our vCalendar export also works in Palm Desktop 4.1 now, although the native DBA export is considered superior. Previously the Hebcal vCalendar export would cause Palm Desktop to crash, but this issue appears to be resolved now.
We’ve added next and previous links to the top of the individual Torah Readings pages. See Parashat Beshalach (this week’s parashah) as an example. You’ll see a link << Bo on the left and Yitro >> on the right.
These links have always been available at the bottom of the parashah pages, but now they’re also visible at the top for people who don’t like to scroll.
Also, the date of the reading for the current year highlighted to easily see what to year we’re in if you’re using the triennial cycle.
