Debuging the Helios calendar

It was the best of calendars – it was the worst of calendars.  But – it is our calendar.

Unfortunately or fortunately, the helios calendar is popular.  And sometimes – it doesn’t really play nice.

Today brought up an example – where when trying to bring up a category called “Career Related Events”, it failed.

As we have known for a while – helios lets all kinds of funky characters in, but when you go to push them out.   Blaaaaaaaaaa.  No good.

Here is a way to debug – use the RSS tool to see what bad character you have.

If there are errors – it will give you clues to the problem.  Then you can go to the back end and hunt for them.

It’s not exact science – but it beats looking at a hundred or so events.
