org-mode and auto notifications?

org-mode and auto notifications?

[[AvataR]]

Hi list!

Is there any way to make visual (OSD/whatelse) notifications about
upcoming events present in my .org lists? 

(Sorry to Russell about followup)

You might want to use the appt-* functions all together with
`org-agenda-to-appt' (which see).

This page also contains a few hints:

I think the modified code here is working fine for emacs 22 : I removed the run at
24:01 since the run-at-time without a time runs it then and there and
then every delta seconds.
