Howdy all. Sandy seems to be having inconsistent Twitter issues. I'm getting the reminders to Twitter from Sandy, however, I'm unable to update them, i.e. perform the command, for example: "d s update #98 @done" via neither my phone nor Twitter's web interface. I'm having to manually log in to Sandy's website to check them off.
Would really appreciate any help with this as I heavily rely on Twitter via my cell phone to update Sandy.
Would be happy to provide any additional info you might need.
I like to review my daily digest a couple of times a day, updating it each time, by hitting reply and then issuing a command which I send back to Sandy. Most frequently my command is along the lines of, say: f #4 6 9, where these numbers refer to numbered items in the daily digest. I find, though, that Sandy isn't reliable about updating -- sometimes the items are forgotten and sometimes they aren't. I often have to "forget" the item multiple times before it takes.
So, I've been having trouble doing multiple update commands in one email. I'm not sure if this is a design, or if I'm experiencing a problem. I told Sandy to lookup entries from a 2 week period and then I wanted to update several items as "archive" and several others with an updated date.
I replied to Sandy's list with the following:
u #1 @archive
u #2 @archive
u #3 monday
...
Well, in every case (no matter than I had Sandy's email settings to html or plain text), Sandy only saw the first update command.
So I had to send 6 different email messages to update 6 items on the list.
Ideally, I could say U 1-10 @archive, but failing that, I thought I could just put each command on one line.
If I have to send several separate email messages, this might be really cumbersome.
Maybe I'm just impatient, but right after Sandy sent me my daily digest at 11am ET this morning, I immediately fired back a couple of updates. I also have sent her some additional separate reminders and have yet to get a response from her on any of them.
I also checked the website to see if any of the new to-dos were recorded and none of them have been yet.
Is there a problem with Sandy today? Has she already grown disgruntled with the amount of work I send her? It's only been two days!
Sandy seems to do something strange with the last portion of reminder titles. This has been happening fairly often lately, but the instance that just happened was short and easy to post.:-) This was performed through Outlook Express 6.

Subject: (via Jott) Remind me tomorrow afternoon to water the bamboo plants.
Namaste, Lista!
I added this to the calendar:
#1 Mon, 12/24 3:00pm Water the bamboo plants.
- email reminder at 2:52pm
[Exactly correct; I just realized that I meant today, not Monday...I was jotting after midnight! So...]

Which is where I left it. Puzzling, hm? She seems to do this fairly regularly when I reschedule reminders, but she doesn't seem to do it when I update list items, even long items. (And good work, IWS team, on how Sandy handles lists! She's doing much better with those.)
