Question:

Use computer as a timer?

OK, folks. I want to create a device where I can get an LED to blink at intervals that I set, from a few seconds to a few hours apart.

I know nothing about electronics, but I've looked around for timers and none of the ones I've seen offer this kind of range. So I was wondering if maybe there is some way to use my computer. For example, could I use outlook to set alarms for the times I want, and then somehow translate those alarms into signals that I could relay to the LED, preferably through some wireless transmitter that attaches to a USB port.

Does something along these lines exist?
