I've just pushed some code now which will take the parsed out alarms and
update the next_trigger column of the calendar_alarm table with when the
next alarm is due to fire.
This could be run regularly (say, every five minutes) and then a query
on the calendar_alarm table could look for alarms which are due to fire
in the next five minutes and send an SMS.
This would only work for setting alarms, obviously, but similar code
could be used to look at all upcoming events and apply an implicit alarm
to them.
Regards,
Andrew.
