[lug] Looking for a good simple reminder program

[Quentin Hartman]

I use google calendar for that sort of stuff and then setup the Evolution
integration with it. It gives me reminders for all my scheduled events in
Gnome, I don't actually use it for anything else. Gnome Calendar is
supposed to get that feature soon, which would be nice, but it isn't there
yet.
