Actually, I would like to be able to name my own moniker. It just adds a personal touch and would allow me to have a culturally appropriate moniker. thanks.

Very nice - that should work. I am just starting to work Sandy (your Sandy, not the one I already know) into my process and it is working well.

I appreciate the response

Hi folks,

So you don't confuse Sandy and Sandy -- or ask Sandy to do what you meant for Sandy to do, you can replace "Sandy" with "S", as in:

S, remember to introduce Sandy and Sandy at the office tomorrow

This is also a rather useful shortcut for those of us using mobile email.

Other shortcuts we've just introduced and have yet to document are single-letter equivalents of all 5 of Sandy's keywords:

r - "r dry cleaning tomorrow morning" (equivalent to "remember" or "remind")
u - "u next thursday" (equivalent to "update")
f - "f #1" (equivalent to "forget")
l - "l @todo" (equivalent to "lookup")
h - "h" (equivalent to "help")

So if you're Cc'ing Sandy on a message to your other Sandy and thumbing it on your iPhone or BlackBerry or Treo or the like, you can keep things pretty short:

s, r coffee w/ Sandy at 8am

Best,

Rael

I once worked with another Amy and I agreed to respond to a nickname--in this case 'Lola'. It worked so well that years later those *former* coworkers still call me that when I see them.

Something similar could work here--allow any user to establish a nickname for their robot Sandy to avoid this confusion. A user-set nickname would be a permanent fix for this problem since it would be up to every user to adapt the Sandy system to their particular needs. For instance, I could call my assistant "Randy," and I'd make him my anytime anywhere cabana boy :)

I work with another Sandy and am afraid they will get confused...

I work with another Sandy and we email a lot of stuff between us. If I include your Sandy in the converstation with this Sandy I think it might one or both of them.

Anyone else dealing with this?

Ideas or suggestions?

Yes it's good to toss in praise since all you're hearing is complaints and requests... but RescueTIme rocks! I love it.

Was here looking at Pownce stuff and stumbled across Rescue Time. Have to say it looks very very cool. One of my challenges as a small business owner is keeping myself on task and productive (I tend to get distracted looking for new web apps...)

This seems to have resolved itself when I sent her a private note of her own. Still makes me nervous about adding new friends though.

scoblitz replied on August 17, 2007 01:04 to the question "private notes: how private are they?" in Pownce:

This is happening to me today. I signed up a friend and when they view my page they see the private messages I have received. I just sent an email to support.

Say it loud, say it proud! :-) Thanks a lot, Alex. Please let us know how we can make it even better!

good news! I don't know why but the bug doesnt exists anymore. I think it was just a cookie or display error because he used my computer after I logged out when the bug appeared. from his own computer he cant see my other notes.
