Well, cron and Mail::Mailer (or whatever your email-sending module of
choice is) would do it. Really, all it needs to do is send a mail on the
second Tuesday of each month apologising for not having organised a
technical meeting and promising one for the next month.
Right. This seems suitable lightning talk: someone needs to volunteer to
demonstrate the use of the Mail::Mailer (or Email::Send or whatever)
module, with a case study of a script that can be cron'd monthly to send
an apologetic email. Or MIME::Lite if you fancy. Or all three. Or more.

I for one welcome our robotic badger overlords.
