Hi, Does anyone know of software that will allow you to make a calender using your own pictures that can be printed out? I have searched a bit but the results are swamped by schedule/meeting type calender software. I am aware of a command line app that generates calenders in postscript that I used a while back but I can't remember a) what it was called and b) whether it could add a picture. Anyone have any ideas? Cheers Glenn -- Glenn Ramsey <glenn(a)componic.co.nz> 07 8627077 http://www.componic.co.nz

If you were really interested in having the moon phases on the calendar, I'd hope that there was a way to change them for the Southern Hemisphere; the example calendar they show displays the Northern Hemisphere moon phases. Sandy

No (practical?) difference between North & South. "Official" timing of phases will be independent of the position of an observer (eg full moon is when the moon is directly behind the Earth). At that moment, you might be able to argue that people residing where the sun is rising (or setting) perceive that the moon is not quite full. Time difference to account for that would be about 6 hours. Michael

errrm I believe the phases as shown should be reversed left-right -- the moon travels in the opposite direction, is rightside-up (or upside-down, if we pay them troublesome northern-hemisphere bods any mind), and the terminator travels left-to-right. nowt to do with the time of the phases! butting
I've used OpenOffice.org before to make calendars. I don't remember how, I think I made them with writer, but there are some extensions for calc to make them: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/Calendartemplate John Glenn Ramsey wrote:

Thanks John, I couldn't figure out how to add a picture to that template, but your suggestion helped refine my search and I found this: http://fedora-tchung.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-to-create-calendar-with.html which does exactly what I want. Cheers Glenn John Billings wrote:

I'm using Ubuntu and did a check of what was available in the standard system. "pcal" works a treat. It is a command-line utility, outputting a Postscript file. It's not too late for me to use it to generate Christmas presents. Michael
