Over on DevArticles.com this morning, there's a new piece for anyone out there (like me) that has a difficult time remembering much of anything past a few hours (unless it's written down). Their latest, Setup Your Personal Reminder System Using PHP, shows you how to create this system.

Ideally, you need an OS that can schedule things to really make this effective, but it can be done without (you just wont get the reminders feature). They show you how to set up a sample database schema as well as the script to enter events for your reminders. They have a listing of all of the reminders (with a detail view), but no "calendar view" to see where they fall. That would have been a nice addition, but is a little more complex than maybe they wanted to get.

Overall, it's a good place to get started, and can possibly evolve into something more, especially if you work for a company that might need a way to track/send reminders to its employees...
