I was wondering, if I wanted to get a pop-up timer on the bottom right of my screen so that I could set it and it would notify me every x number of minutes, what language would be the best to code this in?

You want this to run in a web browser or to be a stand-alone desktop app?

If you want it to run in a web browser, use Javascript. If you want it to run on the desktop, use Visual Basic or (my preferred choice) C#.

You can download lot of free reminder softwares and configure to remind you in the set interval . I think your problem is not clear .

He pretty much summed it up right there. I prefer VBasic for desktop, and most defintely JScript for Web Browsers.
