Hey everyone, I'm hoping you guys can help me again. You're batting 1.000
so far :). Anyways I'm currently searching for an alarm clock/appointment
type app. IE sits in the system tray, lets me make "appointments" then
lets it remind me. Also it would be nice if this app would allow you to
set a timer for like a few minutes as well. If not I can work with the
appointments only.
TIA

This is your lucky day. Go here for the reminder program. http://kickme.to/elmue
Send me an email for the address of the timer program. Change my email from
the first 1 to a 2. (Anti_Sven measure)

I think that Week Scheduler might be what you are looking for. Just look for
it in the Download section of http://programming.de/ .

Your right that is pretty much what I'm looking for, in fact there are a
lot of useful apps on that page. Need to bookmark it.

Thanks for the links I'll take a look at them and see if I can find
something useable.

How do you like to be reminded? Pop-up message screen? Sound file? Run
prog? Note that a scheduler that has the third item can then of course
do the other two, launch a wav or whichever. Some schedulers, on the
other hand, will only have pop-up and/or sound as means of reminding you.

Once that simpler criteria settled, then the tricky part is finding an
interface that you like. I don't have any strong recommends for you
myself - hopefully others will - but I'd say if you were to get to see
screenshots in advance, it'll make choosing easier. A good freeware
website with a category page for this would be useful (again here I'm
hoping others can suggest).
Also it would be nice if this app would allow you to
set a timer for like a few minutes as well. If not I can work with the

The first I'd categorize a scheduler, where this second item I'd call a
countdown timer. To config a scheduler to do a reminder in X minutes,
it's usually still multi-step, using that same process as you do for
"Tues 28 Oct 9am; One Time."

If you want to have a countdown feature that only reqs you click once
or twice to get it going, would you consider having a second program for
that part? If answer were yes, I can probably recommend something in
this category, ie quick countdown timer. Same question as scheduler
would apply: Remind by message / sound / run file/prog ?

Ah, now I realize that I do, after all, have a strong recommend. TClock.
Google with: tclock + pricelessware. This has been very popular for years,
for good reason.

Btw, there is something else called tclockex, similar enough that it's
easy to confuse it with tclock. But the google search words suggested
should take you fastest to the right place.
