Events recurring within a limited timespan? - General Questions and Answers

Is there any possible way to schedule a recurring event within a limited time frame?
Let's say I have class every Monday/Wednesday from August 20th till December 6th.
Is it possible to set a repeat event that will stop repeating after December 6th? If I schedule a weekly event, it seems to schedule it forever.

PIM Help: Recurring Tasks exception

I need help how to set exception to recurring tasks on pocket outlook. Let's say I have a tasks that occurs on the 15th of every month. However if the 15th occurs on Saturday/Sunday (non workday) I would like the tasks to be done on the Friday (13th/14th). How do I do this pattern?
Also how do I set-up the tasks reminder so it should notify me two days before the due date, but only once each day? Hitting snooze seems so kludgy.
Thanks.

[Q] Later alarm when DST ends

iPhone users encounter a bug that wakes them up 1hr late when the time changes. Just want to know if Android would have the same problem:
http://www.engadget.com/2010/11/01/iphone-dst-bug-causing-alarms-to-fail-across-europe/
I have the Samsung Vibrant, so if Android has the same bug, I can use it as an excuse next Monday to my boss to sleep longer
I noticed Android fixes DST automatically, also in the alarm.
So that means, you'll have no excuse

Android , oldest OS

Seems Samsung was developing Android firmwares in the same year as Concorde was doing it's first passanger flight between France and UK and Apollo 11 landed on the moon
In any Unix based operating system a date/time is stored as the number of seconds since Jan 1st 1970. Daylight savings time or time zone difference from GMT (Eastern US is GMT-5) makes it appear as Dec 31st 1969. So basically no time value was entered meaning 0 seconds since Jan 1st 1970 minus time zone difference and/or daylight savings time.

Llama events

Hello,
I've been trying out Llama to replace my old profile switcher. Works fairly good, but I have one rule that doesn't seem to trigger:
http://llama.location.profiles/Quie...00\bp\p0\p0\p|0|0|p2|Quiet|0|d|0|w|0-0|b|0-0|
(don't know if that link will work)
It's: "at home between 23:00 and 06:05 when it's monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday or friday [{when it's saturday or sunday and between 00:00 and 10:00}] - change profile to quiet"
the home area has been defined and recognized. It just didn't trigger.
Anyone any ideas what's wrong here?

App recommendation: need alarm clock that can be pinned to a time zone or GMT/UTC

Hi all, I'm looking for an alarm clock app for which I can set alarms that go off at a given time in a specified time zone, regardless of the current time zone I'm in, or in the case of Standard vs. Daylight zones, regardless of the currently active time zone. For example, if I set an alarm to 6:00 am Mountain Standard Time, it will go off at 7:00 am in Mountain Daylight Time, or 8:00 am in Eastern Standard Time.
I've looked into the Suntimes app on F-droid, and it's almost got what I need but not quite.
I could also work with an app that supported setting alarms on GMT.
------------
Background: I work as an over-the-road truck driver, and my work sometimes takes me across time zones, but I'd like to stay on my home time zone sleep/wake schedule. As a truck driver, I am required to have 10 hours of "sleeper berth" and/or "off duty" log time at the end of each day before I can start driving the next day, and changing time zones can really mess that up.​​More background: Also, I abhor these stupid, anachronistic time changes we suffer every spring and fall here in most of the USA, and since I can choose when I start my work day, I'd rather just ignore that change by having my alarm clock automatically adjust when it goes off to keep me getting up at the same mean time each day, regardless of what the clock says. ​
