Manage your time with Remind
One thing most people are bad at is remembering things -- anniversaries, deadlines, schedules. Computers, on the other hand, are very good at tracking things -- so long as you have a way to tell them to do so. Remind, a GPLed calendar and alarm application from Roaring Penguin, is a good way to keep track of your appointments and commitments on your computer so you don't need to worry about keeping them in your head.
Remind is available from the Roaring Penguin Web site, and several distros offer a Remind package. For Debian or Ubuntu, just run apt-get install remind or use Synaptic or Adept to install the package.
Remind offers a choice of GUI front ends (more on them in a moment), but for those who are not afraid to use a text editor, Remind's syntax can be pretty simple. For example, if you want to remember an anniversary or birthday on July 10, you can add a line like this to your ~/.reminders file:
