Freeware alarm clock
Can anybody recommend me a good, featureful freeware alarm clock? Something that doesn't suck up resources, can disappear to the taskbar, but is still moderately configurable? Preferable allowing several alarms to be programmed at once?

I don't have a link handy, but a shareware app with a free trial that might get you halfway to what you are driving at would be SayTheTime. Google should get you to a download.
If this doesn't work out, I'm sorry for not having a better suggestion handy. good luck!

No Nags has an entire freeware category called "Time/Alarm Tools - Freeware." Try there.

Thanks, everyone - I will look into them. Now that I have the baby taking and waking up from naps at specific times, plus my older son going to school, there is some kid-related thing that has to be done and cannot be missed every 45-90 minutes throughout the day (Put kid A to bed, 60 minutes, get B ready for school, 30 minutes, get B on the bus, 30 minutes, wake A up, one hour, feed A, 45 minutes, A to bed, 90 minutes get B off the bus and put him to bed, 75 minutes, wake A and B up.)
Since my gaming time comes during these naps, I am absolutely paranoid about missing one of the times - the bus, for instance. I want to be able to set myself reminders for five minutes or so before each item so I don't have to sit there and twitch toward the clock every three minutes.

The best I've found -- the one I always use -- is the freeware utility Multitimer. I replaced the default alarm.wav with my own. It includes 10 independent timers and a wonderfully efficient interface.
You may also find a use for the freeware Week Scheduler from the same source.

Works great spacebar is the snooze button which is probably why my spacebar doesn't work so well anymore.
