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

   * Google calendar (I avoid putting things on that I wouldn't want to be 
discovered "publicly", but I think there are some options to keep things 
private, plus you have to log in to use it at all.  It sends me reminder 
emails, and althouigh I have a standard, you can set it up to do various 
things, like send reminders n months, days, or hours before an event, and 
repeat events on various schedules (like yearly, monthly (iirc), weekly (on a 
specific day, probably more.  I have trouble setting up things like for the nth 
Thursday of a month (iirc -- i know I have trouble with one, forget which it 
is).

You can also share calendars or specific events (only) with other users.


(I suspect that other similar services provide calendars.)

   * KDE (and I sure many other desktops) has a calendar application -- I 
tried it once a long time ago, I forget all the reasons I preferred google, 
and maybe some of those have changed.
