Just follow the steps described at the below link:

or,
Just follow the steps below(copied from above link):

1. In Google Calendar, register your mobile phone to enable SMS notifications.
2. In Gmail, create a new label named 'Send text'.
3. In Gmail, create a filter to apply the label 'Send text' to important emails. For example, you may want consider emails from your boss containing the word 'urgent' as important.
4. Send an email to yourself to try this filter.
5. In Google Docs, open a new spreadsheet.
6. Choose the menu Tools > Script Editor.
7. Copy and paste the following script:

   function sendText() {
     var label = GmailApp.getUserLabelByName('Send text');
     var threads = label.getThreads();
     var now = new Date().getTime();
     for(i in threads){
       CalendarApp.createEvent('IMP- '+threads[0].getFirstMessageSubject(),
                               new Date(now+60000),
                               new Date(now+60000)).addSmsReminder(0);
     }
     label.removeFromThreads(threads);
   }

8. Save the script.
9. Click the Run icon. A pop-up opens asking you for your authorization to access the Gmail and Google Calendar services.
10. Click the Authorize button.
11. Click the Run icon again.
12. After one minute, you should receive a text on your mobile device, containing the subject of the email you wrote and sent in Step 4.

Slackware 12.1 mouse scrolling sloution

If you have a wheel mouse after installation of Slackware, the scrolling function won't work.
You have to change /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to enable it.
**i am using vim to edit the *.conf file.
** this hack is for two buttons and one wheel mouse.
Steps:
1. open command shell
2. #cd /etc/X11
3. #vim x.conf
4. find mouse section ( "Mouse1" or something like that)
5. add this two lines ->
Option "Buttons" "5"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"6. If your mouse protocol is set to "PS/2" or "auto" then you may have to change it to "IMPS/2" or "ExplorerPS/2"
8. save the file with the changes made.
9.restart X.

Wallah! happy scrolling :)
