I set up a reminder for a daily activity using the @daily tag yesterday, and today I got 38 reminders, from now until late August all at the same time. Note that I am receiving the reminders via Twitter only - and one could think that this is a Twitter problem, BUT the reminder specifies different dates for each reminder, all the way into late August.
Note that I had created the same reminder about a month ago, and it was sending the reminders just fine, until it stopped sending me anything last week. I checked the calendar online, and the reminder was no longer in my list. Therefore, I created a new reminder - for which I received 38 notifications today.
Sandy says I am not following her on Twitter, but I am:
> You're not "following" me on Twitter yet. Please go to http://twitter.com/s and click "follow," then try again.
Of note is that I changed my Twitter username. However, I double-checked that the new username I entered into Sandy was correct, and that I was following @s from my new account.
I have a contact in my list called "Chincoteague Island Vacations." I sent the following instruction via email:
l chincoteague contacts
and Sandy returned an email with the contact information I wanted. In other words, it worked perfectly.
Then, just to make sure I could get the same information via mobile if necessary, I used Twitter to DM Sandy with the exact same text. It didn't work. I got the standard "does not compute" response ("Hello! To remember/remind: 'd s r take a break in 15 min'; To update: 'd s u 1 @done'; For more: iwantsandy.com/examples").
Shouldn't the responses to lookups (and to everything) be the same whether one uses email or Twitter?
Hi,
Really thought I had found a site that would do everything I wanted but find that when I ask her for e.g. my ToDo list via Twitter I just get my first item - how unhelpful is that :-(
Personally I would like each list item to come through as a different Twitter, that way I can easily reply and knock them off the list as I do them and still have a running list of those outstanding. I realise there's a 160 character limit but doubt anyone will have a list item of longer than that!!
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.
When signing up for twitter/sandy integration, Sandy sent a confirmation code via twitter. When I pasted the code into Sandy's configuration screen, Sandy told me that the code wasn't valid -- but it was! it simply had a few trailing spaces. I think that the string should be trimmed before being checked to get rid of this problem.
I've set the "Would you like me to send you reminder tweets?" to off in my Settings but it has no effect. It might have something to do that I've sent the reminders through Direct Message in Twitter and not by email (which I never use anyways).
This is actually only my secondary problem. My original intent was to turn of the Twitter confirmations (not actual reminders) but there's no such an option to be found. Because I deliver my tweets to my mobile, these confirmations (for me at least) are just spam.
I use Sandy with Twitter, since I'm abroad and don't have mobile support. However, regardless whether I tweet Sandy via mobile or Twitter webpage, I don't receive the list items, just list name and tag. Everything else works fine. Although I get email confirmation of list items, I'd love to get the list items to Twitter.
Additionally, yesterday it took 10 hours for Sandy to respond to my tweets (got bunch of confirmations overnight) Was Sandy just busy with some Valentine's rendezvous or do others have this problem?
