In a similar vein, I've coded something for Windows. It's an interactive function currently called "my-org-update-desktop-from-agenda". It takes the current week's agenda view and sets it as the desktop's wallpaper. Not an alert, but it keeps your workload forever in front of you. It needs a couple of functions defined in .emacs and a windows executable (90KB) that I've written which updates the desktop wallpaper from an html file. The wallpaper will look exactly the same as the agenda view you'd normally see within org-mode. It's trivial to adjust one of the functions if you prefer more/fewer days than 7 displayed. Only tested on the setup quoted in sig. Anyone who'd like a bundled copy of the required bits, just drop me an email: chris[at]amlog[dot]co[dot]uk. Off-list might be best. -- Chris Randle Windows XP SP3 - GNU Emacs 22.1.1 - Org-mode 6.07b
