In this way it would be possible to use the TimeSpeller plugin mostly but when the external criteria was trigged it could change to use the "Alarm Announcement plugin". The "Alarm Announcment plugin" would be a new screen saver that displayed configuable configurable text during a specified time interval. For example you would configure it to say "Wifes Birthday" a specific day and "Christmas" between 24/12 - 26/12. The texts and intervals could be read from a text file to make to announcement plugin a bit simplier, instead of implementing a full blown configuration interface.
