For a web-dashboard showing both agenda and month-calendar, I wanted to show the daily activities only on the agenda, and all other events on both the agenda and mont-calendar.
For that I needed a sub-Google-calendar for the daily activities next to the main Google-calendar, so I searched for [WayBack] calendar google sub-calendar – Google Search
Once the calendar is created, you’ll see it on your browser and in the app.
- On your computer, open Google Calendar.
- On the left side, above “My calendars,” click Add other calendars New calendar.
- Add a name and description for your calendar.
- Click Create calendar.
Create a new calendar – Calendar Help – Google Support
This wasn’t fully accurate:
- the add option intuitively is a plus sign (+):
- In addition it is not above “my calendars”, but next to “other calendars”:

Since Chrome changes over time, the batch file below from [WayBack] Run chrome in fullscreen mode on Windows – Stack Overflow also changes:
@echo off
echo Countdown to application launch...
timeout /t 10
"C:\Program Files (x86)\chrome-win32\chrome.exe" --chrome --kiosk http://localhost/xxxx --incognito --disable-pinch --no-user-gesture-required --overscroll-history-navigation=0
exit
On most of my systems. Chrome is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe, so I need to change the path anyway.

This was way easier than I thought it would be; it’s just that the meny items are different from Excel: [WayBack] Create & use pivot tables – Computer – Docs Editors Help.
The page has much more, but these are the initial steps:
Add or edit pivot tables
- On your computer, open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets.
- Select the cells with source data you want to use. Important: Each column needs a header.
- In the menu at the top, click Data
Pivot table. Click the pivot table sheet, if it’s not already open.
- In the side panel, next to “Rows” or “Columns,” click Add, then choose a value.
- Note: Sometimes, you’ll see recommended pivot tables based on the data you choose. To add a pivot table, under “Suggested,” choose a pivot table.
- In the side panel, next to “Values,” click Add, then choose the value you want to see over your rows or columns.
- You can change how your data is listed, sorted, summarized, or filtered. Next to what you want to change, click the Down Arrow

Hangouts is being replaced by Google Chat
Oh boy, this is probably a prelude to Google Hangouts, as it originates from Google+, following the Google+ feat: death for personal users.
[Wayback] Learn about the switch from classic Hangouts to Google Chat – Computer – Hangouts Help started with
Google Chat launched to Google Workspace accounts in 2017 and is now available for free on personal accounts. When you switch from classic Hangouts to Google Chat on your personal account, you
but then came this in the list of limitations:
- Video call ringing isn’t available on Google Chat. If you use classic Hangouts for direct video calls that ring, don’t switch to Google Chat. To start a video call in Google Chat, you can drop a Google Meet chip into the conversation and dial in.
Now looking for an integrated chat and video call option that my mentally retarded brother understands, as the non-straightforward integration of Google Chat and Google Meet features won’t cut it for his mental abilities.

PS: Blocks also do not transfer to Google Chats. At myaccount.google.com/blocklist you can find who you blocked.

I blogged about [WayBack] Awesome Cookie Manager before. The Awesome Cookie Manager lets the user manage cookies in Google Chrome. It is great.
It is even greater that the pop-up dialog has a URI:
chrome-extension://hcpidejphgpcgfnpiehkcckkkemgneif/popup.html
Get it at [Archive.is] Awesome Cookie Manager – Chrome Web Store:
Displays a list of all Google Chrome cookies. Allows searching, viewing, editing, saving, restoring, and deleting cookies.
It helped me solve the below cases, where I had too many cookies, to the Web Archive bailed out; Awesome Cookie Manager helped me to clear the right cookies:

Every now and then, Chrome hangs to badly on MacOS that the whole Mac GUI becomes unresponsive so even the “Force Quit” dialog does not appear.
Sometimes you are lucky enough that you have a (remote) terminal shell open.
Then you can do either of these:
- Less hard kill:
killall 'Google Chrome'killall Google\ Chrome
- Hard kill:
killall -9 'Google Chrome'killall -9 Google\ Chrome
The less hard kill sometimes brings up an unresponsive task and still allows you to save any changed.

I wonder how you can programmatically open a Hangouts link from Chrome?
These dit not help:
So did some more digging.
TL;DR: did not find a solution; so any help is appreciated.
I found the IDs of then in [WayBack] extensions/common/constants.cc – chromium/src.git – Git at Google
namespace extension_misc {
const char kPdfExtensionId[] = "mhjfbmdgcfjbbpaeojofohoefgiehjai";
const char kQuickOfficeComponentExtensionId[] =
"bpmcpldpdmajfigpchkicefoigmkfalc";
const char kQuickOfficeInternalExtensionId[] =
"ehibbfinohgbchlgdbfpikodjaojhccn";
const char kQuickOfficeExtensionId[] = "gbkeegbaiigmenfmjfclcdgdpimamgkj";
const char kMimeHandlerPrivateTestExtensionId[] =
"oickdpebdnfbgkcaoklfcdhjniefkcji";
const char kProdHangoutsExtensionId[] = "nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd";
const char* const kHangoutsExtensionIds[6] = {
kProdHangoutsExtensionId,
"ljclpkphhpbpinifbeabbhlfddcpfdde", // Debug.
"ppleadejekpmccmnpjdimmlfljlkdfej", // Alpha.
"eggnbpckecmjlblplehfpjjdhhidfdoj", // Beta.
"jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoeh", // Packaged App Debug.
"knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl" // Packaged App Prod.
// Keep in sync with _api_features.json and _manifest_features.json.
};
// Error returned when scripting of a page is denied due to enterprise policy.
const char kPolicyBlockedScripting[] =
"This page cannot be scripted due to an ExtensionsSettings policy.";
} // namespace extension_misc
The odd thing is that the source does not match the Chrome web store designation:
You can not start the extensions in a tab; they need to start their view through the extension.
So these links do not work:
chrome-extension://nckgahadagoaajjgafhacjanaoiihapd/mainapp.html?uv_main_windowchrome-extension://ljclpkphhpbpinifbeabbhlfddcpfdde/mainapp.html?uv_main_windowchrome-extension://ppleadejekpmccmnpjdimmlfljlkdfej/mainapp.html?uv_main_windowchrome-extension://eggnbpckecmjlblplehfpjjdhhidfdoj/mainapp.html?uv_main_windowchrome-extension://jfjjdfefebklmdbmenmlehlopoocnoeh/mainapp.html?uv_main_windowchrome-extension://knipolnnllmklapflnccelgolnpehhpl/mainapp.html?uv_main_window
