Hmm,
Forgot to remove the original password. Oh, whatever, the database
can't be reached anyway and the password is unique for this setup.

I don't know if it will work in anything higher
then 1.6.x (that's what I use).
What I did was the following:
I created a 'namespace' Event where all the calendar entries go. This
will remove the clutter from the 'wanted pages' etc.
Then I have entries/articles/pages like: "Event:January 11 2007" for a
calendar item and entries like "Event:January 11" for yearly recurring
items (birthdays, anniversaries..... ;-)
The articles are formatted as follows:
Example for "Event:January 11 2007"
{{Event:January 11}}
* 10:00 Morning meeting <!--- 5 ---->
* 12:00 Lunch <!--- 0 --->
* 16:00 Late afternoon meeting <!--- 15 --->
So:
1) first the inclusion of the yearly items
2) in a bullet list each entry
Each entry consists of a starting date and the item text.
Item text can be followed by an HTML comment (so it won't show).
Inside this comment is a number which is the number of minutes you
wish to be warned before hand.
The default 'warn' time is 60 minutes, but that can be changed in the script.
The script is released under GPL (use however you like, let me know if
you do something other cool stuff with it and send me back any changes
in functionality/fixes/....)

I used
Christof Damian's calendar extension for displaying.
I now have settled on a predefined 'article' format for the individual days.
Then I wrote a Perl script (I am more comfortable with Perl than with
PHP) that will check each day's article and notify me when an
'appointment' is due.
Hans, do you still have this Perl script? Would you mind sharing it - I
would love to take a look at it!
It'd be really awesome to have a reminder of upcoming or imminent events
on the main page of the wiki, but I'm excited to see how your reminder
system works.
btw: Do you happen to know whether the Calendar extension works
flawlessly with MW v1.9? (I believe there were some issues with MW
v1.8.2 before, so I'd rather ask before breaking anything... )
Thanks!
