Not sure how I am to reply but I thought I would show another alternative:
FSET _CountDown() iif((trigdatetime()-current())/1440>0,"-- %b","-- %1")
where, at 0830 on 9 Jun 2011 we get:
REM 2011 Jun 09 +7 AT 12:00 MSG Lunch with Haiyan %"%"(%3
[_CountDown()]), yields
Lunch with Fiona (at 12:00 -- 3 hours and 30 minutes from now)
REM 2011 Jun 10 +7 AT 12:00 MSG Lunch with Haiyan %"%"(%3
[_CountDown()]), yields
Lunch with Fiona (at 12:00 -- tomorrow)
REM 2011 Jun 11 +7 AT 12:00 MSG Lunch with Haiyan %"%"(%3
[_CountDown()]), yields
Lunch with Fiona (at 12:00 -- in 2 days' time)

Subject: [Remind-Fans] Reminder Popups with date and time
Message-ID:<[email protected]>

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently using
[CODE]
remind ~/.reminders-general | gxmessage -buttons "OK:1" -default "OK"
-center -font "serif 16" -fg "#231" -bg yellow -wrap -title "Don't Forget'"
-file -
[/CODE]
To generate popups for things I need to remember.
My reminder format is:
REM 6 June 2011 +8 % Presentation on Free OS %b
This works and give me a countdown to how many days I have left.
My question is:
Is there a way to also get a countdown to a specific time. That is instead
of the popup showing ...in two day's time is it possible to have it display
...in two days 6 hours and 30 minutes time for example?
Thank you,
John
