It takes too much time for me to add reminders for my day-to-day tasks. Firing up an editor and typing all that remind syntax is something that can be avoided. Also, it really hurts to look at the calendar to figure out fuzzy dates like "tomorrow", or "sat". I was planning to write this big Perl script which would do the heavy lifting for me. Instead, I found Date::Manip which already does the heavy lifting. It understands stuff like "tomorrow" and "sun". I just needed a small 'remindme' script then
Usage :
$ remindme on sat to eat everything I can $ remindme tomorrow to pay the phone bill $ remindme next week to think up of something useful to say $ remindme next thursday to find something better to do
