Hi Ted,
Not to put you in the inquisition chair or anything, but can you give
some examples of events where more flexible reminder options would be
helpful? Or maybe it's not based on the event, but where you are (ie.
If you're at home, you need less time to be warned before a phone call
meeting. If you're in the office at OSAF, you need more time to move
to a conference room, etc).
I have a specific use for very flexible reminders, the case looks
something like;
an hour after a meal (the time of which changes from day to day) remind
me to test my blood sugar, but if I have a meeting/movie then remind me
to do it earlier if its less than three quarters of an hour, and after
the movie/meeting if its more. Oh, and do it discreetly, as I'm not
always in diabetic evangelist mode.
Keeping that in your head is a tricky one! I suppose I could script it
in iCal, but my palm certainly doesn't deal with it well with the
default applications. At the moment I use a digital watch with three
alarms, and my work colleagues complain that I sound like one of those
irritating musical birthday cards.
