alephito, I have almost entirely gone off the idea of putting alarms in it, mostly because I am not out to replace any PIM packages. I realize your comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I really just wanted a light-weight application to show me how much time is left to certain events (I am a big counter downer).

Even though I mentioned recurring events in my previous post, I am still not 100% sure I want to resurrect that idea. At first I thought it would be quite a nice addition, but the more I think of all the possible cases the more uncertain I am whether I will be able to do it. If I do put in recurrence, though, I am sure alarms will eventually follow.
