I've been using Remind for years (maybe decades). It can handle all kinds
of repeating reminders, not just annual dates (ie birthdays and
anniversaries). Very versatile. It is a command line program, but comes
with TkRemind (a GUI front end). Best not to use the GUI for setting up
reminders,

try Thunderbird Calendar (Lightning):
there are probably better tools, but I have been using it for ages.
For reminders you can use various categories to show graphically, popups
if you like, and it is searchable for Historical uses.
I also have oldtimers disease, this helps.

"remind" is the appropriate tool.
It does NOT rely on anything other than computer being turned on.
With appropriate script it can "nag" me ;}

For the specific purpose of birthdays, I find gbirthday really straightforward
and effective.
I haven't succeeded in showing the last recent birthdays though...

Yes, several, but I'll bet you don't want to use either. Nevertheless, I'll
mention them for posterity.

Just looked at its manpage.
I'm looking for something slightly different.
