2RemindU Script

Sunday, November 11, 2007

2RemindU, seems to be acceptable to be released to the public. I have been using it for about a day and seems to do what I want it to do. I have some plans to expand this script into a google widget. As a beta I plan to add the following capabilities for the next version of the application:

• Integration with google calendar


• mobile SMS


• ability to remind users of creating events


• system of organizing notes/todo (such as creating tags and categories)

Currently the Application will need the following to work correctly:

• Mac OS X


• Growl


• PHP5

I am leaving how to automate the script to the user. I use Lingon to have the script run every 10 minutes, but one could also create it as a cron job. I plan to upload the script tomorrow sometime when I can decide on which license I would like to use ,such as, GPL,Lesser GPL, or BSD. For those who care, I decided not to release this as a AIR application for a couple of reasons:

• Currently Specific to Mac OS X


• Google Calendar has no todo list


• Hard to create an application such as this to be compatible with all OS configurations

The application may change if I have the time to figure out google and make it more specific to google calendar instead of iCal since that would reach all platforms. Until than I think that this script and future application may specific to Mac for the time being.
