I haven't looked at sked, but... You can run remind in "daemon" mode, and it
will print a message to the terminal, or pop up a message in X if you want
that. If you for instance put the following line in you "calendar" file:
REM Tue AT 12:00 +15 *5 MSG Don't forget the tuesday meeting
And run remind with "-z -f" it will print out the message every five minutes
between 11:45 and 12:00 on tuesdays (or skip the "+15 *5" part and print the
message once at 12:00). I belive this is what you wanted?

It's not curses-based. It does integrate with vim, though.
