To get a calendar view, use a calendar program like Google Calendar, Outlook, iCal, etc, and have it subscribe to the the calendar feed from Sandy. (See http://iwantsandy.com/help/feeds and http://iwantsandy.com/settings#calend... to turn on your private iCalendar feed.)
It is some trouble to update Sandy events through a calendar program. The current calendar feed is read-only. The work around is that you have to click on the event to get to the details, and then you need to click again on one of the links inside the event. You will be directed to Sandy's website for that event, and you can make a change to it there.
The problem seems to be that not all calendar programs work the same. Google Calendar is especially non-standard and they're having a tough time with it.
i understand that Google Calendar was updated just the other week with support for CalDAV, so maybe now the iwantsandy people they can get Sandy working with gcal in the next month or so. Or maybe not.
Oh, and even if Google Calendar's behavior does get sorted out, gcal still doesn't have a task list. So you still won't be able to see your task list displayed in Google Calendar, even if you can use gcal to update events.

This feature was added in a recent update. See http://getsatisfaction.com/iwantsandy...
You can now use a @reminder tag to tell Sandy when you want to be reminded. After the @reminder tag, put the date you want to be reminded. The date can be fixed (like June 20) or it can be relative to the date you want to remember. (use the word "before")
You can send a message to Sandy like this:
> Remind me that my father's birthday is on April 20th, @reminder three days before.

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.

The list of dates is ok I guess. Nothing like looking at a calender view. It helps me a lot. I have been using google cal and have the sandy feed but it is to much work to update things on sandys feed.
I would love to have a cal view that allows me to look at a normal cal view and have a list next to it of todo's or whatever.

I wrote a program to delete your account because I was in the same boat. You can download it here:

danielo reported a problem in I want Sandy on February 22, 2008 03:12:
Two attempts to show calendar fail.I tried adding Sandy's iCal feed to my Netvibes page, which allows you to embed any iCal. None of my items from Sandy showed up. I tried using Sandy's new Google Calendar feature -- same thing: seems to add just fine, but is void of all events/items.

Howdy,
I chatted with the Jott folk today and this issue should be resolved very shortly. I expect at that point for Sandy to be receiving even partial transcriptions and so be able to at least give you more to go on.
It's unfortunate that it seemed for a moment that Sandy was not comprehending something that was within her realm, but I'm glad to have learned that the confusion stemmed from your receiving email with partial transcription while Sandy received only "Please listen".
So, all's well that ends well and I look forward to the fix.
