Reminders (Pop-up & E-mail) with Unix?

mnjaga asks: "What is your solution for handling 'reminders' with Unix? I was using a little freeware called KirbyAlarm , when I was using Windows. After migrating to Linux, it took a while to get a handle on things. Currently, I am using a mixture of cron, remind, and mail . However, I am interested in a better solution than what I am presently using. How do you handle your pop-up and e-mail reminders?"

remind -- you'll regret you don't thave a life complicated enough to take full advantage of it ;-)

I'm pretty sure he's already aware of the existense of remind.

Use the easy (but low tech) solution

Get married, then your wife will always tell you what to do and when to do it.

You only need to remember 2 dates each year and that's easily cronable.

Hehheh. The other day we were chatting at work:

Colleague: "Who does the cooking at your house?"
Me: "I do."
Colleague: "Well, what does your wife do then?"
Me: "Complain."
