      Have you tried sticking your head in the oven and turning the gas on? Just a suggestion.

            is there anything I can get on my machine that will 'bing' at a certain time.
            it has to be very flexible, and quickly reprogrammable
            you can set your "machine" to beep. Or even explode?

              That looks like a watch.

              is that a watch ?

              I am a contractor, not a permie watch-wearer

                Do you use Outlook? You can set repeat tasks and single tasks in there and they can use a sound on your PC as an alarm.

                  Get a contractors watch and wear that then?

                  Why do you need something that beeps a lot? doesn't the world have enough beeping in it for you already?
                  While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                    Although looks like you can't do hourly alarms but you could snooze them for an hour when they go off. Otherwise there is task scheduler:

                    Or this one?
