[Remind-Fans] Strange schedule

[hymie at lactose.homelinux.net]

Now that I'm half-awake, I came up with this:

===
SET cycle (trigdate() - date(2016,8,15) +1) % 12 + 1

if (cycle <= 7)
  rem On [cycle]
else
  rem Off [cycle - 7]
endif
===

The date (2016-08-15) is the first "On" day.

This does not work on the first day of each month.
.reminders.foo(1): `-': Type mismatch
Maybe Dianne can figure out why.  But it works every day after that.
