Date Formatting, etc.
Hi -
I'm using GeekTool to customize my desktop in OS X 10.5.8
I'm a complete novice as far as UNIX commands, just know enough to be dangerous.
I have a command entered as a Shell to display my events from iCal:
This makes my events show something like this:
While this is awesome, I'd like to customize it. For one, I'd like the date to be formatted as this:
like I can do with this command:
and the time to be in 12 hour format
But I cannot seem to figure out how to make the iCal events date show correctly.
Help?!?!?
