Well that's one thing I don't have to worry about. I'll never forget our wedding anniversary. If I did, it means I've also forgotten the birthday of my eldest daughter, oh and as it comes only four days after Mrs Yoda's birthday and the day after youngests birthday, I have nooooo excuse for forgetting.

You obviously have an Outlook Calendar Cranial implant. In your case, so many reminders they are like the proverbial London omnibuses. 
If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

That's a hard partying week. Also you get it all done in one fell swoop.
Lucky.

I also don't have to worry. It is easy to remember Little Boy visiting Hiroshima 
Perhaps the greatest man-made catastrophe of the last century.
Now for this century ...

My alarm system at home allows you to enter a custom message on all the keypad entry displays.
Mine has: "The MATRIX Has U", yes there was a character limit.

We've all heard that the way to get a job in today's economy is through networking.
But with exactly whom? Anyone care to share their ideas on where to find the right kind of people to network with?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Old co-workers that you still have amicable relationships with.
Join an industry specific group.
Attend workshops, even if you know the material.
Trade shows

Thank you for those ideas.

Here are some guidlines I've developed over the years:
1) Go to events where you are comfortable and there are other goals, like learning something.
2) You can't fake being interested in other people, so don't try. If you hate talking to and meeting new people, going to network events won't help much.
3) Find people you really enjoy talking to and learn to enjoy finding out about others. Sincerely.
4) Learn to listen and when you speak, make it something worth listening to.
5) Go to industry and technology related events to learn and a side benefit will be meeting people, some of whom may be of help.
6) You never know when or where you will meet someone who needs your talents. It may be a friend of someone you meet. Don't worry about it.
7) Always carry a few business cards with you. You never know when or where you will meet someone who needs one.
Personally I think "networking," as such, is over-rated. If you have to go out of your way to run across people with similar interests, then you have other issues to deal with. If you are good at what you do and enjoy being around and working with people, you'll be networking without ever really trying.

User groups and conferences are good places. Talk to people about what they're doing and you'll get a good idea of the kind of work available in your area.

I used to subscribe to one of Microsoft's developer newsletters (sorry can't remember which one) and it used to give dates and locations of user groups. If you can find one reasonably close to home that would also be a good place to go.

The simplest method is to put up a LinkedIn professional profile and then start to join some of the "groups". Find people you know in your current circles/work/associated companies/clients, and allow the network to grow from there.
If you are affiliated to any memberships etc. you can explore those avenues.
Watch who try to connect with you, I have had a few strange ones that can see no reason why they would want to connect or any relationship with my areas to what they are up to.

If you're a drinker, the pub! I meet/get to know way more IT folk at the pub than I do at trade shows/workshops etc

meetup.com - this is a great place to network.
They have many programming groups.
The best is you sign up go and talk to people with the same interests
or step out of your comfort zone and try something completely unrelated.
It gives you an opportunity to get out and meet and talk to people.
Luck be with you.

There's a discussion of networking on MSNBC today you might find of interest: "How to network when you’ve lost your job:"
"In 2012, Dwain Schenck lost his job as a communications executive. Nearly 50, he had trouble finding a new job, so he wrote a book at the suggestion of Mika Brzezinski on rebounding from unemployment. He joins Morning Joe to discuss." [^].
Personally, if I was looking for work, I would focus on identifying potential employers, and finding the right people to contact, or the right places on-line to publicize/advertise my skills, although networking could certainly contribute to that process.
But, I'm not looking.
good luck, Bill
