db = EventDb::Database.new    # note: by default uses in-memory SQLite database
db.add( events )


today = Date.today

puts 'Upcoming Ruby Conferences:'
puts ''

on = EventDb::Model::Event.live( today )
on.each do |e|
  current_day = today.mjd - e.start_date.mjd + 1   # calculate current event day (1,2,3,etc.) 
  puts "  NOW ON #{current_day}d    #{e.title} #{e.start_date.year}, #{e.date_str} (#{e.days}d) @ #{e.place}"
end

puts '' if on.any?

up = EventDb::Model::Event.limit( 17 ).upcoming( today )
up.each do |e|
  diff_days = e.start_date.mjd - today.mjd    # note: mjd == Modified Julian Day Number
  puts "  in #{diff_days}d  #{e.title}, #{e.date_str} (#{e.days}d) @ #{e.place}"
end
