Heh, the original app I wrote was using a PostgreSQL backend, but when I
moved to a new webserver, I didn't feel like setting a database back up just
for the calendar app, hence rewriting it using text files.  Plus, it is
easier to just copy the files and dump them in a directory and just have it
work than worry about different DB types and user names, etc.

As for the if statement, you are right, a simple if statement can be used to
catch that scenario and I will fix it.
