Just jumping in here: it might help to include a "next run" field, for
the example above it would read Tuesday, 2004-08-03 02:01:00 (localised
appropriately). Someone editing the "at this hour/minute/day" fields
would see the "next run" field update and this would hopefully make
errors easier to spot.
