I tried some simple notes apps, but they always occupied too much of my visual monitor space, and didn't let me search older stuff easily. So today I built a simple reminder script to take notes and easily search them later. Full command line so I can grep my notes by full text search super easy.
I forget too many events, like birthdays, meetings, etc, so I started making a calendar which can prompt notifications in my desktop and maybe later send me emails. For the calendar I made a script to generate the events, which will ask for a date and a description. If all the formatting is correct it will save it.
I made another script which will check the next 5 days from the current day and generate a desktop notification for each event using the zenity tool and made a desktop file to trigger the script when the pc boots and the graphical environment starts.
