This idea sounds like it has several parts to it. 1) be able to give a name to an event. 2) be able to refer to the event by name, 3) be able to refer to the date inside a named event, 4) be able to create a new event that is scheduled for some date relative to the anchor event. (some amount of time before or after the anchor event) 5) have the new event be "dependent" on the anchor event. If the date of the 2009 CSF meeting changes, then those events that are relative to the anchor event should change as well.

There have been some discussions about #1 and #2, they might be coming. I don't have any information on #3, #4 and #5.

Elizabeth,

There are at least 2 different types of feeds, the Calendar Feed and the Daily Digest Feed (i.e. the Google Calendar Gadget). (see http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...)

The "Daily Digest" feature (the Sandy icon) is available for every day. Some people have complained that the icon appears on every day, even on those days where there is nothing scheduled. However, these people didn't understand that the Google Calendar Gadget has a different purpose and is not a regular calendar feed. Instead it implements the Daily Digest feature.

I know that there is a delay in the Calendar Feed. Google updates the calendar feed about every 3 hours, (or longer). There have been many discussions about Google Calendar not updating feeds promptly and people unsubscribing and resubscribing the get it to update. Look at some of the links on the right or do a search. (Other links: http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... and http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy... and http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...) I'm not sure now often the "Daily Digest" feature is updated.

how about:

r dad's birthday july 4
*n july 1 at 11:00

or something like that? or @n...

you could even require that it be a date instead of 3 days from now or that kind of thing.

Elizabeth Wiley replied on June 26, 2008 20:40 to the discussion "NEW! Google Calendar Gadget" in I want Sandy:

Am I the only one still having issues? When I set it up as a calendar feed, it's not updating. i.e. the events I had when I set up the feed are there, but that's it. If i set it up with the thing from the sandbox, it puts the face on EVERY day and doesn't integrate the information in anyway. It just puts the two seperate bits of information within the same browser window.

Am I just totally missing something??

has this functionality been added yet? One thing I'm doing is using sandy to remind me about a TV show that's coming up so that I can Tivo it. I can't tivo it until 2weeks before air time so I'd like to set a reminder for that show time then put a handy relative offset like 7 days before on it. thanks.

I think it's an advantage. You will never mix up the names :) – norbiq, on May 08, 2008 06:40

My ex was a Sandy, my wife now is a Sandy, I'm so confused by yet another Sandy! If I include Sandy on an email to Sandy about my ex Sandy and ask Sandy to remind me..... lord have mercy on me.

It turns out there might be a way to do this. Something along the lines of a custom calendar feed, like what I was thinking earlier. You can search by a particular tag and then save the URL and give it to another person/application.
