That particular script appears to only schedule for the next 24 hours.
It could do more but it doesnt.  I was going to write a php one that
doesnt work quite this way.  Instead I was going to take advantage of
features of the queue app so you dont need a seperate cron job, namely
setting the time of the queue file to the time you want the wake up
call.  I was also going to add in features to record a custom message,
and other such goodies.  They arent complex features, but I think would
make it nicer.

But this is low priority for me right now.  Between the Sac AUG and ETEL
speaking engagements this month along with regular work I am unsure that
I will have time until feburary.

I hadnt thought about recurring ones, that would be better handled via a
crontab type setup I think than creating a ton of queue files.  You
could easily do this, just a matter of storing who, when, how
frequently, and then creating the queue files on time.  

If you are using the one I think you are then if you enter it in 24 hour
format and the time is > 12 it can tell that you mean 24 hour format,
hwoever it cant tell teh difference bewteen 12hr and 24hr if the time is
< 12 so it asks.
