getting started with remind

hi!

I've been curious about Remind for a long time after reading Mike Harris' introduction, but only just got around to trying to install/use it.

I've never done anything in Terminal (like several other people who left comments to the original post), but after a lot of fiddling around I managed to install the program and set up a .reminders file. Problem is, I can't seem to actually figure out how to call up any of the reminders. "rem" or "remind" (and variants of) are "command[s] not found."

I know so little that I'm not even sure what information I need to give to get help, but if anyone has a sense of where a newbie would likely go wrong, or could offer any pointers, I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

3mindme.com: Email reminder gateway

Hi, I just created a simple email gateway that works similar to remind: just email "tomorow@3mindme.com" or "jan5th@remindme.com" or "nexttuesday@3mindme.com" and it'll just forward whatever you sent back to you at the specified time. Anyway, I just made it and I'm looking for feedback on how to make it more helpful, and I'd welcome any advice you have. Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you!

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
