Hello Mario, thanks for the reply. I got it working.

I suspect it was either the NoScript or the SafeCookie extension in my FireFox browser, even though I believe I had opened both up fully to twitter and twitterfeed.

I tried used a fresh, un-extended profile and it worked fine.

I'm happy considering this closed. If you want to dig further to figure exactly what was happening let me know and I'm happy to recreate.

More information - Looking in my Twitter settings, it shows that TwitterFeed has authorization to access my account.

Oauth to twitter is not working for me.

Creating a new twitterfeed I select "Authenticate at twitter". I get the expected "Allow TwitterFeed Access?" page, where I select "Allow". But when I get back to TwitterFeed it still says "Authenticate at Twitter" and gives no indication of success or error. Perhaps relevant, I previously had twitter feeds set up under a different twitter account, I've deleted those and am trying to add the new feeds under my new account. Any suggestions?

There is a work-around on google groups:

Emmadad reported a problem in I want Sandy on August 05, 2008 14:46:

Sandy has gotten way too aggressive looking for times, dates, etc. in my reminders...

I kept trying to add a reminder with the word "nightly" - Sandy would see the word "night" and treat that as a time. E.g. "build against nightly tarball" became "build against ly tarball" scheduled for 8pm. Yes, it removed "night" from "nightly" leaving "ly".

I also had problems with numbers - e.g. any software version got taken as a date. E.g. "4.2" becomes April 2, 2009

And "4_2 branch" kept getting taken as an address.

How do I set the extra tags to include in the daily digest?

At one point I came across an option that allowed me to include other tags besides '@todo' in the daily digest - now I can't find it for the life of me. I've checked all the settings menus and looked through the guide to no avail. Did this disappear?

Hopefully I'm just missing it.... Thanks.

Emmadad replied on May 28, 2008 14:03 to the question "Sandy not updating correctly when updating things as done" in I want Sandy:

So, a big "NO" to the period at the end of each line. I tried the following (in response to a digest):

u #9 @done.
u #24 @done.
u #25 @done.

The result was Sandy did mark them @done, but also changed the titles of the three items to just a period.

I take back my prior comment. Weekly reminders do seem to keep coming even if I don't mark them done. – Emmadad, on May 24, 2008 02:44

Jared - no argument, the documentation is flawed. My intent was just to show where and how the documentation was flawed. – Emmadad, on May 23, 2008 16:11

To be fair to Sandy, now that I look hard at the documentation, all the examples do indeed show a blank line between commands. I assumed it was just for readability, but apparently it's significant.

Also under "Sandy Shorthand" I see "As long as you place each [command] in its own paragraph..." - apparently "own paragraph" means a blank line.

I haven't tried the suggestion yet from vnewq regarding periods.

Just to keep this thread alive, this is still broken. As Tatiana suggests putting a blank line between update lines is indeed a viable work around.

I do notice Sandy does not have this problem with forgets, I can have as many of those as I want with no blank lines in between and Sandy parses all of them. If I mix forgets and updates (e.g. in response to my daily digest) all the forgets get parsed, but only the first update.

A comment on the question "Mark repeating todo as done, leave future repeating todos alone..." in I want Sandy:

Hi Rael- One bug I think I'm seeing is that if I don't mark an weekly todo as done, Sandy quits sending reminders for future weeks. So, I get a reminder for one week, don't get to it, Sandy doesn't send me anything for the next week and so forth. Ideally I'd like Sandy to either keep reminding me or roll the missed one up. – Emmadad, on May 19, 2008 17:55

Emmadad shared an idea in I want Sandy on May 13, 2008 14:52:

Can you please add a "Next" link at the bottom of the web page....

Currently there is only a Next page link at the top right. So I scroll down my list, and then have to scroll back up to get to the next page (or even to see if there is a next page).

While you're at it, perhaps you just want to duplicate the whole row of options (Hide To-Dos, Hide Past, etc.) at the bottom?

A comment on the discussion "UPDATE for May 12th, 2008" in I want Sandy:

I would like to see them a little darker. They just look like little gray blobs until I mouse over and they darken, which gives them enough contrast to make them clear. – Emmadad, on May 13, 2008 14:48

A comment on the question "Can't list Todos with tag without done todos - bug or user error?" in I want Sandy:

Nice summary Kevin.

One minor nit: ""The primary bug is that the "sort=date" option should NOT EXCLUDE items without a date. It should GROUP items without a date at the end of the list.""

What I would actually like is todo items for today (and past I think), followed by the un-dated todo items, and then all the future todo items. – Emmadad, on May 13, 2008 14:36
