I’m horribly forgetful. I had to get a blood test this morning, and had to fast since last night, and my wife reminded my three times that I should bring a banana or something to eat after the doctor since I wasn’t heading home right away, and I’d probably be starving.

I forgot.

This happens all the time. But I found a neat little QuickSilver that lets you set neat text reminders. I don’t have any fancy screenshots, but you can check out a video and stuff here.

Basically, here is a summary of the best instructions I’ve seen:

1) Activate Quicksilver
2) Type in ”.”
3) Type your message
4) Press tab
5) Type “large type”
6) Press Ctrl-Enter
7) Select Run After Delay
8) Type in something like “10s” to test it (10s = 10 seconds)

Very sweet, and if you’re at all a keyboard ninja, you could set these up in a couple seconds.
