# python script that uses notify-send to tell you about what you have scheduled in calcurse
# parses the output and then uses system time to notify you

# - 03:40 -> 03:40
# do stuff!!
# - 03:45 -> 03:45
# do some more stuff!!
# invoked like so... kinda janky, can be used a bash script as well I believe...
