A possible Sandy-gCal hack?
if there was a way that sandy would pass my sms reminders on to google calendar's sms update feature it might make them play nicer.
(see: http://urltea.com/38f1?gcal_sms_docum...)
sandy: r lunch meeting tomorrow at 2pm
gCal: lunch meeting tomorrow at 2pm
so close... there's gotta be a way, right? This would cover most, if not all, of the relationship sandy needs to have with gCal

Inappropriate?This would be great, especially because Google SMS sends "true" SMS to canadian cell phones where as Iwantsandy seems to send their SMS via email, which Rogers up here in Canada makes you use up a sent SMS to retrieve. -
Inappropriate?@Bryan
What you're suggesting is possible right now itself! I'm doing exactly that, actually (in India). Add Sandy's private calendar feed to Gcal, and set up Gcal to send you SMSes for events in the "Sandy" calendar. If you require further help on how to do so, do tell.
@ neilio
Do note, however, that there could potentially be a gap of up to a few hours between adding an event in Sandy and it showing up in Gcal. So, if you want an SMS reminder for something happening within the next few hours, I wouldn't suggest relying on Gcal's SMS feature. You could instead link Sandy up with Twitter if you're more concerned about receiving reminders than about it showing up in Gcal. Or, if you want the best of both worlds, feed the Sandy calendar into Gcal, disable SMS reminders for the "Sandy" cal, and use Twitter for reminders.
Hope that helps.
