It truly is just the simple things. KAddressbook has a cute little feature that allows you to enter the birthdays of your contacts. Well, if you use the whole Kontact suite, it will tell when the person’s birthday is coming up and how old they will be.
That is all fine and dandy, except I prefer not to use Kontact. Instead, I use the separate programs, including KOrganizer. Well, on my calendar, no birthdays, and there’s no plugin for birthdays.
Simple Solution:
Control Center –> KDE Components –> KDE Resources –> Calendar
Now, click “Add” and select “birthdays-resource”
Poof, automagically, you will now have all of your contacts’ birthdays in your calendar. You can also set how many days in advance you’d like to be reminded. This is particularly useful for you dolts who forget your wives’ birthdays, yours truly excluded.
