Recently created problems in I want Sandy

Can you create contacts with the "powertips" syntax? I just tried it and it didn't seem to work...

I used:

Remember @oldjob +
* Bob Jones (Administrator) work number is 555-123-4456 home number 555-642-2345
* Company website is http://old.401k.site
* Jane Doe cell 555-523-1234

I wound up with 1 bookmark (good) and 2 notes (bad). When I broke it out into 3 separate Reminder lines (in 1 email), it correctly got 1 bookmark and 2 contacts.

I was "practicing" some sandy commands this weekend (trying to get the hang of @archive & forget with recurring appointments), and one of my emails was bounced with the following:

This is the Postfix program at host peach.local.

Now, the message seemed to be processed just fine anyway, although I got no message from Sandy saying so (It was a "forget" command, and the item was successfully forgotten). I haven't seen this recurr.</postmaster>

Lately, when I issue a "lookup" command, I get alot more back than I expected. For example, while attempting to get the contact info for a friend, I issued (via twitter) "lookup Bob Jones" (name changed to protect the innocent).

It successfully returned the contact info for "Bob Jones" as the first result, but then returned 10 additional results that were the all the @birthdays I had tagged it seemed. Any ideas?

I WANT SANDY PEOPLE CAN YOU HEAR ME1!! I have determinded my calender link to Outook is broken--can you fix it? (see other post regarding outook and Sandy)

I just scheduled a bunch of events with sandy and noticed the following little quirk in time parsing:

* r Do something Monday 4:30-5pm

That works just fine.. But change it to

* r Do something Monday 4-4:30pm

And it schedules the event at 4:00, and adds "-4:30pm" to the event title and ignores it. Saying 4:00-4:30pm works just fine, so it's something with the start being only the hour for the end being hour & minutes.

I posted this problem on getsatisfaction.com two days ago, but have not heard back from any support staff, so I am reposting.

I've created three tags to help me prioritize my todos. These tags are simply the numbers "1", "2", and "3". "1" is the most important task, and "3" is something I can worry about later.

Until Friday, the 27th of June, Sandy would correctly interpret any reminder I emailed the website, or which I created from the Daily Digest page by hitting the "New" button. For example, if I emailed Sandy "remember to post furniture on Craigslist @todo @1", Sandy would correctly tag this as a todo with a priority of 1. If I emailed Sandy with "remember to check tire pressure @todo @3", Sandy would correctly interpret this as a todo task with a priority of 3.

Since Friday, however, Sandy is no longer interpreting the second tag properly. The same examples above are now being interpreted as "Post furniture on Craigslist @1" and "Check tire pressure @3". The seconf @ symbol is being completely ignored as a tag marker.

I've since tried testing multiple tagging using text, and this works ok. For example, "remember to post furniture on Craigslist @todo @high" and "remember to check tire pressure @todo @low" correctly gets tagged with a todo and high/low. Why is Sandy no longer correctly intepreting tags that consist of numbers?

I have come to rely heavily on Sandy, so please let me know of a workaround ASAP, since at this point I'm having to use other methods to keep my todos organized.

Reminders are not working. They are not send out at the moment.

I also tried to register my mobile number, but I don't get the activation code (T-Mobile USA).

Anyone else experiencing this?

I said to Sandy:

> remind me to pay a bill July 1 "due July 13"

Sandy replied (in part):

> #1 Tue, 7/1 Pay a bill "due 3"

The reminder is on the right date, but in the quotation marks, Sandy has removed important text and torn the poor number 13 in half. Definitely not what I expected!

I originally thoguht that the Daily Digest page wasn't working properly because it wouldn't update with all the new reminders I was adding. After a little digging around, it looks like anytime I add a reminder with multiple tags, only the "@todo" tag is getting interpreted, and the rest is ignored. This means that all my reminders now only show up in the "To Do" view.

Example: "Remember to repost furniture on Craigslist @todo @1" is interpreted by Sandy as a todo with text = "Repost furniture at Craigslist @1". Why is Sandy ignoring the remaining tags all of a sudden. Sandy was working fine as recently as Friday, the 27th.

Everything was working a treat this morning. I'd email Sandy and she sent me reminders to my email and (via twitter) to my mobile. However, Twitter is not sending Sandy's reminder's to my phone anymore although the emails are still getting through. Are Twitter and Sandy fighting? What's up?

Have sent Sandy several emails. It has been well over twenty minutes. They haven't shown up. No bounce replies. Has been working all day.

I haven't received any of my scheduled email reminders from Sandy since Friday (6/27) morning 7am CDT.

Sandy has registered four new events for me via email. I can see them at iwantsandy.com She has also emailed me replies to say that they have been scheduled. However, she isn't emailing me reminders even though the times have passed. Also, clicking on "Email a fresh copy" of my daily digest for today does nothing - no email. Can anyone help?

Sorting the daily digest by tag does not seem to work.

What i want is pretty simple, and I'd think others would want it too. I want all my to-do items for today to be displayed in the daily digest (a) with a checkbox and (b) sorted under headings by tag. To get the checkbox, I have to use @todo, so I end up with two tags for each to-do item: @todo and @whatever-category.

When I do this, though, all of the items show up under "To-dos" and do not show up under "@whatever-category." This just isn't useful and defeats the purpose of applying category tags.

I've been playing around with this for several days and am beginning to think it would be easier to use some other solution (not Sandy) for tracking To-dos. Am I doing something wrong? Is there some other solution with Sandy?

I have not received the welcome message but have asked it to be re sent multiple times. (No - it is not in my spam or junk folder)

I'm having trouble using the create list power move to create multiple todos. See text of emails below. When I send Sandy the list of todos I want created, she doesn't use the text in the first line for each to do item. She just includes the info in each bullet. What am I doing wrong?!?!

Whenever I try to send email to the special email address provided in the Welcome email, it is bounced back with an SMTP: 550 blocked error from the remote iwantsandy.com server.

I keep getting an error message from Sandy saying "There was more than one detail in the message you replied to" whenever I tried to update my todo list by replying to her Daily Digest. I'm usually replying from my Blackberry, so I can't really go back and erase everything I don't need. Is there any way Sandy can just learn to ignore the original emails farther down the email chain? See text of original emails below.

Howdy!

There was more than one detail in the message you replied to, so I wasn't sure which one to update. Notice how I number each item I list? I do this so that you can refer to a specific item you want me to update, like this: update #3 12/2/07.

Affectionately yours via email,

Sandy

I started with just an @todo tag. All was well.
Then I added an @projects tag and used Customize to add @projects to the list of tags to keep in mind. I got a separate @projects entry on my daily digest, exactly as I expected and wanted.
Then I added another tag, @errands, and added this tag to the list of tags to keep in mind. This broke the categorization of the daily digest - the @todo, @projects, and @errands items all appeared under To-Dos, instead of in three separate lists in the digest.
So far, I have not found a way to fix this.

Sandy doesn't seem to be getting my e-mails - please advise
