Why isn't this being done by a cron job? ... say, other than the
necessity to insert the speaker/topic details?
Maybe you could have cron mail you a template with the repeating
stuff, WITH THE CORRECT DATE! :-), and then you can paste in the
variable stuff. If you'll send me an address you will read on a
timely basis, I'll set this up myself!
I've already got a rough cut at the third-wednesday extractor:
$ cal | tail -n +3 | cut -b 7-8 | awk '$1 > 0' | awk 'NR == 3'
or iteration 2:
$ cal | awk 'NR > 2 && NF > 3 { week++ } week == 3 { print $(NF-3) }'
