Remind Me : a bashrc script
Shamelessly stolen from an ArchLinux.org post ;)

Code:
# remind me, its important!
# usage: remindme <time> <text>
# e.g.: remindme 10m "omg, the pizza"
function remindme()
{
    sleep $1 && zenity --info --text "$2" &
}

For repeating reminders, I use a cronjob.
Code:
45 18 * * 3 $HOME/bin/othremind

Code:
#!/bin/bash

export DISPLAY=':0.0'
summary="                       Radio time!"
message="
  Off the Hook will be starting soon, at 19:00."
icon="${HOME}/stuff/oth_icon.gif"


notify-send -t 0 -i "$icon" "$summary" "$message"
