[Baypiggies] interfacing gdata.spreadsheet.service and oauth2client

[Glen Jarvis]

Alex,

This looks like the best lead I've gotten in days!!! Thank you (I didn't
find this when looking).

My business deliverable/deadline is past and I was able to get something
working without Oauth2 (it worked. But the engineering wasn't nearly as
good. And, that makes me sad).

I'll go over this now for my own benefit so I understand and am not
rewriting the wheel... Who knows, maybe when I revisit this project, I can
get a time allowance to make this work with OAuth2.


Thanks!!!!



Glen

"Pursue, keep up with, circle round and round your life as a dog does his
master's chase. Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it,
unearth it, and gnaw it still."
