Hal Appointments

[GANDALF™]

Does any1 know how to get hal to remind me of an event every 2 weeks.
Tried user defined events but you can not add to the drop down boxes.

Unfortunetely, that is not possible. The only choices for repeating an event are never, daily, mon-fri, weekly, monthly, and anually. There is currently no way of making it repeat every 2 weeks.

I have tried un-successfully to edit appointments and usually just end up deleting them and re-entering them. The help files are really no help at all. I have tv shows I like to watch, which is the best way to put them into the appointments? The options are "add event" or "set user defined events". If you "set user defined events", how do you delete them? And if that's not what I thought it was, then how do you "add event" useing "set user defined events"? lol, I'm confuse, how about you???

The best way to have hal remind you about something like a TV show is to tell him directly. Say to him

"The Simpsons is my favorite show"
"The Simpsons are on Sunday at 8:00PM"
"Remind me when the Simpsons are on"

Or if you want to do it with out talking to Hal.  Click on User defined events. (Add Entry will only remind you about something once.)  
Keyword is Simpsons.  The Keyword is the word or phrase the hal uses to remind you of what the specific event is he's reminding you of.  

Reminder Days is day of event.  Unless you want hal to remind you about the Simpsons the day before.  You usually wouldn’t 't need a longer reminder unless it's something really important like an anniversary.  

Reminder minutes would most likely need to be "5min, 0min" unless you want a 10 minute warning too.

Repeat event should be weekly to remind you of the weekly Sunday night show.  Or you could use the mon-fri if your local station has a daily syndicated episode some other time in the day.

I hope that helps.
