Problem with the birthday app (for me, anyway) is that it only appears
to give reminders when you log in, which I rarely do. I usually leave my
computer running until there's a power outage or I move:
$ uptime
14:34:32 up 164 days, 2:48, 5 users, load average: 0.29, 0.44, 0.43
XFree was also running most of that time, except when I switched to
Gnome from Enlightenment :-)
