Hmm. Not really the solution I would be looking for.

Say that I have 10 reports to make, all with a different deadline. Let's say that Sandy could start reminding me (or prioritising) a set number of days before the deadline. That would be great!

Or, in another possible universe, if Sandy could be asked to only start including something in the to do list from a certain date onwards.

Or maybe by adding something like a priority list where you could add things to, so that these are top of the list, or "urgent", in the daily digest?

I know, I know, I'm getting more lazy every day...

Is it possible for me to specify when Sandy sends me a reminder? By default I have it set for one hour, which I like, but I'd like to be able to say: "remind me to pick up dry cleaning at 2:45pm" (which would indicate that I should be reminded at 2:45pm) or "remember to drop off the tax forms at the office at 10am, remind me at 9am".

Something along those lines would be helpful. Any ideas?

Hey Rich,

Your assessment is spot on. As I just replied in another thread:

--

We seem to have had a problem with a load balancer (a system that routes email from the outside world to our email servers) which caused some portion of email to Sandy to be deferred.

In other words, your email is still awaiting delivery, but with things flowing again, Sandy will respond to your messages just as quickly as she possibly can.

Obviously we don't take this sort of thing lightly and we'll be making sure that it doesn't happen again.

I apologize for the email delay and any issue this might have caused you.

--

A quick update: all incoming email is once again flowing smoothly into Sandy's inbox and she's reading and responding to them as quickly as she's able. She should have the entire lot handled within the next 20 minutes or so.

Once again, I appreciate your patience and (under the circumstances) rather good humor.

Emails are working OK now. There has been a problem with the email server. See the other thread for more details.

I'm posting to Sandy via Twitter and from the website OK. But I am having problems with the emails to.

I'm experiencing the same thing. Sandy isn't responding to my emails, and I didn't get my normal reminders early this morning.

Sometimes when this happens, Sandy is processing my emails (it's just the replies that are delayed) -- I can tell this from the Web site. But today, the emails are not being processed -- they are probably sitting in Sandy's queue. (She'll probably plow through all the inbound emails at once when she comes back, and I'll get a flurry of replies later in the day.)

Why am I not recieving Sandy's emails?

For some reason I'm not recieving emails from Sandy... This was working yesterday, and then today I didn't receive my daily digest or my reminders... Is Sandy experiencing difficulties today? Why is this happening?

Sorry, I should have said "remind me lab report due on 12/1 @todo" (I forgot the @todo), to make it show up every day in the Digest.

This is a tool I will use often now that I understand how it works. We have a similar system where I work and it realy helps my productivity...err...ADD.

Marshall Roch, an employee of I want Sandy, replied on November 20, 2007 01:14 to the question "Is there a way that Sandy can remember due dates?" in I want Sandy:

Hi,

Sandy includes all overdue todos in the @todo section of your Daily Digest. So "remind me lab report due on 12/1" would create "Lab report due" scheduled for 12/1, and Sandy would start reminding you about it every day starting on 12/1.

Hope this helps,
Marshall

Is there a way that Sandy can remember due dates?

I want Sandy to be able to remember the due dates of an assignment and mark it as a To-do. This would really apply to school assignments (or work deadlines), where Sandy would remind me when its due, and alert me when its overdue (i forget to mark it as @done). Is there something close to this or is this planned for the future? Thanks.

Hi!

Good question. And the answer is: of course you can! Try this:

lookup tomorrow

Or:

lookup next Wednesday's todos

Or:

Lookup this week @home

You'll find lots more on lookup at http://iwantsandy.com/help/lookup

Enjoy!

How do I see what's going on Tomorrow?

Is there a way that I can I EMAIL sandy and get a Daily Digest of Tomorrow (or any other date)? I'd like to able to see what I have going on in the future and plan my schedule accordingly. I know I can do this through the iwantsandy.com website, but I'd like to do this through email.

Any ideas?
