I can imagine how the name of this page came about, but at this moment it is a bit confusing; at least to a non-native speaker of the English language. Wouldn't it be better to change the name to something like "365 days of the year"? cf. the it: link right now, which is a completely different setup

I'd like to propose getting rid of the "less condensed format" of the calendar. I can't see what possible purpose it serves, and it makes the page much bigger, and doesn't look very good anyway. It's not laid out like a "real" calendar, since the 1st is always in the first column, and so it's not

Great page, but the 4-month wide table is wider than my screen and requires scrolling right unless I reduce my default font size (just for this page). The next time someone gets an urge to reformat this page, please consider reducing the table to a 3-month width.
