Some­body told me that there is a class of warn­ing mes­sages in your email client, related to the cal­en­dar appli­ca­tion, that sounds like the one in the pic­ture above. A mes­sage that appears sub­tly, unex­pected, but only if you deserve it. It’s only a warn­ing, and the aim is to bring peo­ple to think that some­thing is going wrong. It hap­pens when you put work­ing hours in a week­end, or when the num­ber of meet­ings in your daily sched­ule it’s more than…five (?!), or when you place an appoint­ment in your birth­day date after 1 P.M., and so on.
Do you like it? Do you think it’s use­ful? How many appli­ca­tions you know that need some­thing like this, a “Behav­iour Con­troller” that gives you an advice when you’re beyond the limit? Could be Pow­er­point, when you put more that 5 lines in a slide? Or Excel, when you fit more than 100 (!!) columns in a table? Or Word, when the num­ber of bu..sh.. you wrote is at a wor­ri­some level. And in the case of IE (or Fire­fox or what­ever you want)? B.C. could be great: “Hey dude!! what about stop with Tech­no­rati for today and take a look to some pretty things?”

Wake up boys, it’s only a dream, I write this post ’cause I’m look­ing for some­one that can develop this applet and give it to the world of avail­able appli­ca­tions, a plug-​in that could be dis­trib­ute for free, based on your atti­tude or on your nature (are you lazy? here is the B.C. for prompt­ing you if your out­look sched­ule looks like Kala­hari desert). Is there any­one capable?
