Developer required to create an application that automatically displays a notification in the notification area (task bar).
Most developers should know what I mean -- the little popup window that appears after you've dialled up to your Internet connection.
We require a program that displays a notification window with certain messages at preset intervals (or displays a message box or similar, preferably unobtrustive message on those machines that don't support notification messages). The program will also play a SOUND at preset intervals.
These messages/sounds will essentially be motivational prompts. The messages should be read from an XML/INI file, and the sounds should be randomly chosen from a sub-folder.
The user should also be able to access a settings screen, whereby they can select the frequency/randomness of the messages.
Happy bidding -- winning bid will be chosen based on price and portfolio.
