Recently active problems in I want Sandy tagged with tags

I need a little help.

I am TRYING to set up to use SMS/Twitter (40404) to send messages to Sandy.
I already "introduced" my twitter self to Sandy (with the confirmation code) and got "Success, you are now ready to receive twitter reminders".

BUT... every time I try to send a message (via 40404) to: d s .... [insert msg here] I get a reply: Direct from S: You deserve a personal assistant! Sign up for free iwantsandy.com etc...
What am I doing wrong??? I want to be able to ADD stuff (or see stuff) to my Sandy list while I'm on the go (often things occur to me as I'm walking to my car).

Thanks,
CZ

I sent the following line to IWantSandy:
Remind Work at Reception 9-6pm Friday @weekly

This is correctly read by Sandy, and added correctly to the appointments list with the correct times. However, when i import the iCal feed into Thunderbird (Lightening), the time shown is 17:00 to 2am the next day.

I don't think it's a caching thing, as I did this yesterday, and it's still wrong.

When I added a reminder of "Remind Work at Reception 9-1pm Saturday @weekly", the website was right, but the iCal feed said 17:00 to 21:00.

Confused. Please help.

I've also tried:
Remind Work at Reception 9-6pm Friday @weekly
Remind Work at Reception 9am to 6pm Friday @weekly

Same problem. Works on the website - not on the feed.

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.

I had an item remembered as an "@giftidea", then realized I was using "@gifts" more often, so I switched that guy to "@gifts". It does not show up when I search for "@gifts".

It does however show up when I search under its original tag, "@giftidea".

I've been getting Sandy to keep a birthday list for me, sending emails such as Remember "birthday list item" @birthdaylist as I think of items to add.

I've retrieved this list by emailing Look up @birthdaylist in the past, but now get a reply saying nothing can be found under this.

The list appears fine and up to date on the website, so the data is there.

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.

How to configure reminders with Jott:

I'd like to be able to use @sms, @email etc. tags when I send reminders to Sandy via Jott. The problem seems to be that Jott transcribes the @ as "at" and Sandy doesn't pick up on them as @ signs.

Basically this means that if I want to use Jott to remind myself of something happening later (via Sandy), then I have to configure Sandy to send sms reminders about everything.

Does anyone have a work-around?

First of all there's some confusion as for @bi-daily vs @bidaily. The help says @bidaily, the tag cloud lists @bi-daily as special. Both seem to work, but using @bidaily lists it as a personal tag.

Also, setting either of these tags via mail, atleast via update and maybe also via remember/remind, does not do anything special atleast not on the web interface. It might work still, I haven't tested, but the web interface threats them as any custom tag. Setting them via the web interface on the other hand, will give the item a wrapped arrow icon and say "Repeats bidaily".

I have come across a few new issues since the last update (Which I still think is great!). They are nothing I can't work around, but they were not issues I had before.

* When I use http://iwantsandy.com/list?page=1&sor... to view all my todo's together, my past weekly todo's show up as not done. If I try to check off the ones that have been completed, it says I am going to be checking off the whole series and does not give me the option of just checking off that one day. The really strange part id that if I go bak to looking at "last week" or "last month" those items ARE checked off (like I thought they were).

* When I try to look up my archived items, all I get is "Your stuff Sorted by updated date (most recent first) and showing only stuff tagged with archive.

Oops, nothing matched your search! Perhaps try expanding your search by removing some search terms. "

(submitted here - http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...)

* I changed my daily digest to include "@waiting" and unless I have something there, it is squished together with the other items. There is no "I don't see anything tagged with @waiting." in between.

When trying to send a new reminder via Twitter, for example "d s r Remind to whatever today @todo @high", when adding a "@high" tag, the message won't get picked up by Sandy.

I was using @high, @med, @low tags to set priority—the @low and @med went through twitter just fine, but @high just throws me back a message from Sandy that I'm guessing is the Sandy-version of an error—the "Hello! To remember/remind: ...." response.

I've tried moving the @high before @todo, but that didn't change anything. If I drop @high, it works.

Also tried sending it through without the @high, then doing a "d s u #4 @high", which didn't work either. Adding some other random tag (say, @cheese) does work.

I don't see in the documentation that @high is a reserved tag—help? Thanks.

Sandy no longer replies to my lookup emails. This used to work but now if I send Sandy a lookup request via email she doesn't reply even though I can see items that should match on the website and she replies just fine via Twitter.

Example emails:
l @phone
lookup @phone

When I edit an item, the dialog box comes up. I change the tags, date, etc and hit save. The little spinny thing spins, but the box never goes away unless I hit "cancel" or refresh the page. However, if I click on an item, then hit delete, the dialog box properly goes away.

Using Safari 3.1 on OS X.

Tagging an item @archive should remove the @todo tag if there is one, mabye even set the @done tag as well.

Maybe the semantics of @archive should be made more clear, especially in conjunction with other tags like @todo.

I couldn't find a way to edit or delete tags. There should be an overview screen where I can see all tags I'm using, giving me a choice to add, delete or edit tags (similar like on del.icio.us).

I've noticed that Sandy has problem with tag @bookmark when I send her links to remember. Example:

Sandy, remember http://tech.wp.pl/kat,1009781,title,N... @bookmark @shopping

She replied:

I added this to your bookmarks:
#1

Nuvifone - killer Nokii, iPhona i SE? Telefon i nawigacja - TECH - nowe technologie - WP.PL

* http://tech.wp.pl/kat,1009781,title,n...@bookmark
* tagged with shopping

Notice that she she glued @bookmark to the end of URL. It doesn't happen if I change the order of tags in my request. Let's say:

remember http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/RJ-11 @note @bookmark

She came back with correct confirmation:

I bookmarked:
#1

Rj-11 - Wikipedia, wolna encyklopedia

* http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/rj-11
* tagged with bookmark and note

Weird, don't you think?!

I have tried several times to add @todo and it says it is saving but it seems to be gone. I cannot find it and then it does not come back when I search.

Do this...

1. Go to Your Stuff > To Dos...
2. Choose Sort "By Tag"
--> Notice that the tags are mixed together and there are no headers for each tag like other views (by date, by last updated).
