I was talking to an IETF colleague at lunch today about how one remembers  
meetings, particularly when on the road or otherwise out of a normal  
sit-at-desk-most-of-day routine.  He said he once wrote some AppleScript  
to tie his calendar tool together lightly with Eudora: his script ran  
daily at 5pm, listed his next day's meetings and emailed them to him.   
Once running, his user experience was to daily see a reminder of what was  
coming up the next day so he could think about when to leave for work,  
whether he had conflicts to deal with, or whether everything was confirmed  
for the next day.

This sounded like a simple yet great idea; something that could probably  
be done well with a Chandler parcel or even just a script if there were  
the right place to plug it into.
