Hello. I started a project with a goal: To have a script "read" an entire message board, dedicated to various events, process this information into an iCalendar file, and finally- base a Google Calendar on the iCal file.
Now, The script is done and it works great on my desktop. The problem is, seeing as I plan this a sort of a service for the forum people, It can't be based off of my desktop, which is only available 5 ~ 6 days a week. So, Has anyone a clue as to where might I host my script, so's A: the host "runs" my script periodical (Once every Two hours? If I can configure it to only run during the day than that's even better), and B: The host lets my script create an iCal file (a single, <1MB file) and C: lets GCal have access to this file. I've looked Google App Engine. It's a huge effort: First remodeling my script to use the GAE way of opening urls, to use the GAE way of storing information, and I haven't as yet even looked into how do I store the prepared iCal file, or how do I schedule the runs of my script. The need to learn an entire platform, (Although I do plan to learn it someday), is too large for me now. (Although, if there's no choice that's what I'll do.) Sorry about this message's length, Help will be appreciated, thank you for your time. Omer.
