Not that anyone reads this, and the few that do, (my family) will have no comment on this. But I figured I would throw it out there anyway.

How can I have good reminders time/date based reminders on the linux desktop. The calendar itself is not as important as the reminders, the ability to quickly and easily set and edit those reminders. Evolution would seem to be ideal except that it has a habit of locking up a few times a week and also has a habit of forgetting to remind me of stuff.

If there were a service in gnome that sat on the notification area, and let me use the google calendar with alerts, and also updated the gnome date time applet with some basic appointment details that would rule. But I find myself with half finished kludges and tools that want to do all the work themselves like Sunbird and a bunch of other stand alone apps.

Anyway I am seeking suggestions, does anyone who uses a linux desktop have a simple system for remembering to do things at specific times?

This is the design of a rig I am creating for hanging a microwave over my range.  Hopefully no one dies.

For some time I have been extremely busy and my websites have been almost entirely ignored.  (Whaaaa?  Someone is actually reading this?!  You really should clean up your feeds and delete the ones you don’t read!)  Since I now have two children, a busy startup to engineer at, and other sundry work I will probably continue to ignore it.

But I did actually get around to upgrading the site to wordpress 2.0.4, Installed a different wordpress to livejournal crossposter (maybe this one will crosspost entries I send from my camera phone) and checked in on my google adwords.

Seems ignorance somtimes pays off, at least a little.  I am about $3 from getting a check from google, afterward I will probably pull the ads because it makes the site look cheesy.

Anyway the renewed interest is temporarily sparked by some ideas I had for some quick software projects I hope to churn out, which also probably won’t happen.  But I like to think it will, and instead of actually working on the task I have in mind, I decided to upgrade my blog software.  Figure that one out for me. Anyway, here is hoping that Google accidentally prints way too many zeros on my $100 check, and here is to going to get some sleep.

Only thing worse than coming here is waiting here for incompetents to show up… 110 minutes after i called…

See you soon Allison!
