Ubuntu Timer Applet

Some time ago, I needed some "reminder" (computer science does cooks brains :-S ) I made a simple script to :

Code:

#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -eq 2 ]; then
sleep $1m
while [ 1 ]; do
sleep 3m
wall "$2"
xmessage -nearmouse "$2"
done
else
echo "uso: $0 #minutos MENSAJE"
fi

I did for simple tasks like "remember to call your ISP who told you Call me back in x minutes... ", which I almost always ended up forgetting.
Today I found this fantastic gnome applet (BTW it's on Ubuntu's repository):

http://timerapplet.sourceforge.net/

Now I just have to remember why I was looking for an applet like this :)

Enjoy!
