I wonder how many conditionals you can string together. "Remind me to call my wife before I leave work" is great, but "remind me to call my wife before I leave work at the end of the day, unless she calls me first" would be awesome.

In reality none of this stuff is even remotely useful, because I can't even begin to guess whether or not a given command will be interpreted properly. Natural language is hard, and reminders need to be 100% reliable.

> Remind me to call my wife before I leave work Might be implemented as: while (get_location() == work) { sleep(1min); } go_back_in_time(10min); trigger_reminder();

  >go_back_in_time(10min); time.h certainly got a lot more features since the last time I used it...
