[Remind-Fans] "Sticky Notes" for "remind"

Hello,

I don't have much experience with sticky note applications, but I use
the ONCE and RUN functions to echo tasks to a text file that I then
access with the Todo.txt application. It looks something like:

REM ONCE 29 RUN echo "Pay cut to crime boss, or else" >>
/Path/To/File/todo.txt

I think the RUN and echo commands can be used to pipe a reminder to
almost any application that deals with plain text. Yesterday, I was
just reading about how the Tomboy Notes program has been born again
into Tomboy-ng. It trumpets plain text and markdown notes, so that
might be worth looking into. Just find out where the notes are stored
and pipe your reminder in that direction.

Good luck,
Danny
