    I'm gonna make a cron script to e-mail myself upcoming assignments for next semester. No more schedule book :)

      @caret7 May I ask how exactly that would work?

        @twilisparkle45 Sure! I'll stow all the major assignment due dates into the program's directory, and it will use the 'sendmail' program to e-mail me whenever a due date approaches.

          @caret7 What kind of command would do that kind of searching (for dates in, say, a txt file)?

            @twilisparkle45 Each assignment has its own file, with due date on the first line and alert date on the second line. The dates are in seconds since the epoch. <3 sed http://pastebin.com/kJ7xJCP2
