IDEA: Alarm that utilizes WindowsXP's Notification Balloons

(1/2) > >>

I've been wanting this one forever, but a program that let's you specify a time per day when a notification balloon pops up a custom message reminding you of something.

For example: *Pop* Take your Pills!

*Pop* Leave to pick up the kids!

*Pop* Call your brother!

I think you get the point :)

mouser:
this is easy enough to write that it's tempting to do, but lots of such programs already exist.. maybe someone can recommend a good free one...

if anyone could think of some really unique features to add that aren't in existing freeware ones, it might make sense to code a new one.

himynameiznate:
Honestly, I've been googling for years now, and have never seen anything like it. If someone has a recommendation, PLEASE give it :D

mtp:
well .. what i know is that we have "alarm" for litestep ... dunno if you are familiar with ls ..

Scott:
You may want to check out Alert Me Jigaro, which is a calendar/reminder application that shows balloon tips.  I believe that the freeware version is limited to 30 reminders, and lacks a backup/restore feature, and that the full version is $15.  (You may want to double check that, though.)

I tested it very briefly, and it worked fine for me.  On first run, though, it did complain about a missing file--mscomctl.ocx--which the installer was too stupid to handle.  Once I installed and registered a copy of that file from my other system, it ran fine.
