I don't know of anything that exists already, but it shouldn't be too
hard to write. 'at' can trigger events at a certain time (either
absolute or in some way relative to the current time) and libnotify
(possibly via notify-send) or zenity could do the annoying you part.
A little bit of scripting/programming could put an interface on that
(using zenity --entry to ask for a message and when to show it, or
getting more complicated and making you're own GUI).
If you don't find anything that suites, and want to go down the
"rolling your own" route, I'd be happy to help.
