[Remind-Fans] remind and clacct

[David J Patrick]

In my quest to find the most brutally simple methods of handling my
personal data (the GUI is gooey) I've decided to make things revolve
around remind. It will be a bit of a learning climb, but worth it !

I just stumbled across something I had originally spotted last year;
clacct; The Command-Line Accountant
/Simple accounting for the financially-disinclined
It's a dead simple perl script with 0 frills, and it looks like it might
work great. It's missing a reminder function, and that got me thinking..
maybe I can trigger financial events from remind and invoke clacct with
the -k option.

something like;
REM 1 2006 MSG monthly rent RUN clacct /-a checking -amount -715 -note
'rent payment'

... OK, so it's half baked, and the above example wouldn't work, but if
you like remind, you just might like clacct.
