This is something I wanted to do for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nitt.edu\/home\/students\/clubsnassocs\/computing\/spider\/\">Spider<\/a> in college. All I could finish in college was a simple fetcher from algorithmist.com and topcoder.com. Now, I have everything I wanted to have in this new site. And yes, I hated the algorithmist.com calendar. There was so much I wanted to do for that calendar and the result is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opccalendar.com\/\">http:\/\/www.opccalendar.com\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the cool features I like in this site are.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Long list of services like Twitter, Google Reader, Google Calendar, Google India SMS Channel, WordPress plugin, Firefox plugin and lots more.<\/li>\n<li>Alerts through Email, Orkut and Facebook are on the way.<\/li>\n<li>Automated parses for most of the common programming contests.<\/li>\n<li>Neat interface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Things I would like to have in this soon. (Of course, depends on how much time I have to spend on this project)<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Accounts for each member, where they can choose the alerts they want to have.
