Rediculous would probably be the key to make this work. Maybe have a different rediculous random pop-up come up each time to remind one to check their state. Good idea. I may work on something this myself.

I used to have a dos based program that was a subliminal program that sent custom messages to the screen in whatever time increments a person specified that was similar to this, except that it was more subliminal because the messages flashed so fast they were hard to read.
