I recently discovered iCal – and rocking it ever since. I find it very useful both for events and to-dos, it’s fun to use and easy and integrates nicely with most Mac apps and online productivity applications.
I’ve noticed though a thing the other day, when I was inserting some friend’s birthday in it:
Adding repeatable events in iCal
Anyone else feeling goosebumps at the fatality of having an “end” date for it?
It’s like asking, when will your friend will cease being your friend?
Or worse, when will your friend will cease being altogether?
Ouch!

iCal rocks, especially now that you have a Sony Ericsson mobile phone!

You just have to calculate by yourself when your FEMALE friend will be 40 years old. And when this day come, you’d better don’t remind her that today is her birthday.
Well… i think that the better is that iCal shouldn’t reminded this fact to you in first place…
Sweet.

βήμα πρώτο, συγχρονίζεις το κινητό με το address book (και τον υπολογιστή γενικότερα)
βήμα δεύτερο, πας στα preferences του address book, ανοίγεις την καρτέλα templates και ξεκλειδώνεις-προσθέτεις το πεδίο “birthday”
βήμα τρίτο, προσθέτεις τα γενέθλια στις επαφές
βήμα τέταρτο, ανοίγεις το iCal πας preferences και επιλέγεις να σου δείχνει το “birthdays calendar” (το οποίο το τραβάει αυτόματα από το address book)
αφού αποφάσισες να κάνεις τον κόπο να περάσεις μέσα γενέθλια καλύτερα να το κάνεις έτσι για να έχεις μια λύση 2σε1

@Derek: First of all, you’d be kindly requested to reply in the language of the post – in this case, English. If you’re not in the mood for that, you can contact me in greek through e-mail, I’ll be happy to read and reply to that.
Language matters aside, thanks for the tip, some eager friends already beat you to that. Thing is, I don’t wanna link my Birthdays calendar to my Address book, plain and simple.
Thank you though
