No 2023 load shedding slots shown for all areas except Cape Town

[MichaelJHarvey]

I'm not 100% sure this is all areas except Cape Town, but this is what I've observed from opening random ics files and comparing the average file sizes for the areas.

I suspect this is an issue with going across years in manually_specified.yaml. Cape Town seems unaffected because it has new load shedding events starting in 2023, while the current event covering the rest of the country started in 2022.

Cape Town was probably also affected by this issue between 22:00 on the 31st and 5:00 on the 1st, but this wasn't as noticeable because it is only a 7-hour period.

I think this may also affect going across months - I do recall sometimes having load shedding slots missing on the 1st of the month (back when the stages were changing more frequently which masked the issue somewhat), but always forgot to log it here.

I just wanted to open an issue as well after noticing that the last event that's pulling through for me (using https://github.com/beyarkay/eskom-calendar/releases/download/latest/gauteng-ekurhuleni-block-3.ics) was on 31 Dec.

Here's a link to shared calendar on Google Calendar where I imported the ics file.

Hrmm. That's not great. Thanks for logging the issue though! I'm looking into it now.

Okay it should be fixed by https://github.com/beyarkay/eskom-calendar/commit/db93b125f540b0d62b38532858bfc08bc8746f76, I'm just waiting for the calendars to build and then I'll be able to confirm

Okay it's all fixed now.

I've also been working on the website: https://beyarkay.github.io/ec?calendar=gauteng-ekurhuleni-block-3.ics which is still a little rough around the edges, but should make the new-user experience a lot better.

Thanks for raising the bug @robotic-coder ! I really appreciate it.

[MichaelJHarvey]

Thanks for the fix and for this project as a whole :)

[beyarkay]

No problem!
