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

Posted by Cliff on from the replacing-the-thread-and-string dept.

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?"

    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."
