I've been trying to understand how to setup systems from the ground up on Ubuntu. I just installed redis onto the box and here's how I did it and some things to look out for.

bdotdub

input = `cat event.ics`

inside_event = false
current_key = nil

vevents = []
vevent = nil

input.split("\n").each do |line|
  if line =~ /^BEGIN:VEVENT/
