HappyDays
by Jaemok Jeong is a smart little program for the Palm Pilot which uses a clever mechanism of scanning anniversaries from the Notes
fields of contacts.
Inspired by that, BirthdayScanner X does a similar thing, enabling the user to maintain anniversaries in the Notes
field of an Address Book contact.
This is very easy. Just add your anniversaries to the notes field of a contact in this form:
* "anniversary": "YYYY-MM-DD"
Each anniversary must start with an asterix (*), followed by the name of the anniversary, followed by a colon (:), followed by the date of the anniversary in the form YYYY-MM-DD (four digits year, two digits month, two digits day).
You can still freely add other text to the Notes
field of the contact. Whatever BirthdayScanner X does not understand, it will just quietly ignore.
Examples:
"* Birthday: 1972-02-17"
"* Wedding Day: 1992-06-01"
"* Son's Birthday: 1996-11-29"
