This may or may not be a worthwhile idea, but I'll throw it out there anyway :)
How about using GnomeCal instead.

While I love ical, GnomeCal seems a little more full-featured, and the conduit 
to sync it with a Palm-Pilot works a lot better (well, it works, which is more 
than the ical conduit does :)

This would allow you to enter data into either your GnomeCal or Pilot, and 
have GnuCash operate off of that data. Additionally, it would end up on your 
PDA, where it could remind you to write/send that check when you're not 
actually *at* your system!

However, since I'm not the one writing the bridge, I have no idea what the 
difference in level of difficulty is between writing an ical-based bridge vs. 
one for GnomeCal.  So, if it makes more sense to use ical, or it's easier, 
then by all means, go that route!

Just my $.02 :)
