| I Downloaded the Calendar
I used a VB6 app to download the pages and pull out the relevant information. This is very common on the internet (probably 2/3 of the traffic online is a bot). Though I would not call it entirely ethical.
The information is available for free. However, it puts a load on the web server. Please be gentle if you write apps like this. Download pages at off hours and space out the page loads to not impact their bandwidth and other visitors.
I'm not going to release the source code unless you give me a strong reason. It was easy to write: 3-4 hours.
Anyone else can go directly to the Burning Man website to get it themselves. Hopefully in the future, we'll have better access to a database we can use. For example, this one only has camp names. It would sure be nice to get locations.
