automated phone call from skype?

[Tyler Aviss]

That's a pretty complicated task for a fairly simple problem. Why not
just get one of those little portable alarm clock thingies.
Alternately, if you have your old could always just use that as an
alarm.

Automated skype-to-phone calling sounds interesting though. I do
believe that the Skype API's are somewhat public and there's a plugin
feature you can use.
