I built a similar tool. I wrote a GTK app that runs on my desktop machine and puts an application indicator into the panel, from which I can set alarms and turn them off. It connects to a netbook in my bedroom which, via cron, plays a sound repeatedly until I get up, go to my main PC in the living room and turn off the alarm. However, I've found that a lot of the time I'll just go straight back to bed...
