A couple of my friends are having birthdays in the near future, and I just had to ask one of them to remind me what day it was on because I couldn't remember, just that it was the 2mumbleth of September. As a result I've decided to keep a birthday book (plain text file:-). So if you want me to remember your birthday let me know when it is, preferably including year so I can embarrass you when you reach significant numbers.
