You can simply add "remind" to the end of your .bashrc file. Everytime you open up a terminal, you get reminded :-) Actually I'm a bit shaky on how cron comes into it. I do a complicated farrago to change the remind command into a picture which then gets loaded as a background picture on my desktop for the day. I'm not always in the terminal.
