bump! I have several things that happen on this type of format, like the first Wednesday of each month. Any news on that front? Remember the Milk does this kind of format, but I can't stand their service since they can't parse times from the subject.

I'd like to see this, or an iCal file import feature added into Sandy.

This would be great! It is nice to be able to check things off your todo list, but at the end of the day it is even nicer to be able to say, "What did I get done today?" Or better yet, "What did I get done yesterday?"

:)

Perhaps this is due to feeling like I'm never getting things done. :P Using a todo list has always helped me in the past by realizing, Yes! I do get things done! Sandy is helping to remind me to do things, but not helping to remind me about what I've done...

Any update on this, yet? Has development on a Sandy IM interface started yet? :)

Some suggestions:

1) ideas on how a new tag should be:

Sandy can already do this:
> remember to buy bread @daily (repeats every day)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @daily (delays until Tuesday, then every day)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @weekly (repeats every Tuesday)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @biweekly (repeats every other Tues)
> remember to buy bread on Tuesday @monthly (repeats on the same day every month.)

> remember to buy bread Tuesday @monthly_dayOfWeek (repeats on the same dayOfWeek every month.)

My idea is that there only be one or two new tags. It would be a different kind of "monthly" tag. It would repeat every month on the same day of the week. The "2nd Tuesday" or "3rd Sunday" of the month don't need to be specified in the tag. The dayOfWeek and the "2nd" or "3rd" in the month are automatically determined by Sandy depending on when the start date is.

(Although the name @monthly_dayOfWeek is terrible, we should come up with a better one. Maybe @monthly_weekly?)

2) also need to count down from the LAST day of the month.

To do it properly, the FIRST Tuesday of the month is only half of the problem. There's also the LAST Tuesday of the month, and the second to last, and the third to last.

We need to be able to specify if Sandy should consider the repeating event starting on Tuesday to repeat on the THIRD Tuesday of the month, or the SECOND TO LAST Tuesday of the month.

> remember to buy bread Tuesday @monthly_dayOfWeek_reverse

The earlier replies here have an error. They contain the phrase "text=@todo".

You should never look for tags as text. Searching for items that contain some text phrase has nothing to do with searching for items with a certain tag.

Searching for "text=@todo" will only return those items that contain the actual text phrase "@todo". This is usually only found in the "context" of the item. Example: "remember to buy milk @todo".

Any item tagged as todo after it was created will not contain the "@todo" text phrase. And, the items that do contain the text phrase "@todo" in their context will always contain it. There's no way to remove it. Tagging the item as @done, and/or removing the @todo tag, won't change this.

A comment on the idea "iCal subscriptions per tag/search/whatever" in I want Sandy:

This example link has an error. The "text=@todo" part should be replaced with "tags=todo". Also, when using the RSS feed /list.rss?tags=todo&blahblah, it only lists the first "page" of results. Which is 25 items – kevin1, on August 08, 2008 23:31

Oops, they updated to allow:

Remember X on 9/1 @reminder 7 days before

be sure to say "before"

David the Medium-Sized replied on August 08, 2008 16:51 to the idea "I would like "Remind me to do X by " syntax :)" in I want Sandy:

Right now I handle this by using two lines:

Remember X on 9/1
Remind me of "X on 9/1" 8/15

Sandy then creates two entries. A little clunky but it works

Good morning!

We just solved an issue with Sandy's not responding to direct messages on Twitter. She's just caught up and is back to being her usual twittering self.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
