I hope you don't mind my bumping this thread, but I was suprised to see a tweet from @trevypoos on my wife's 'home' timeline (since she follows him as well), but not mine! It kinda makes me wonder how many other tweets I've missed...
This is the tweet that never turned up, incidentally:
http://twitter.com/trevypoos/statuses...
It's not a reply.. it's simply not there (nor is it on my m.twitter.com feed)! I'm worried that I'm missing out on (a small percentage of) the fun!

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...-

A comment on the discussion "NEW! Sandy's email is now richer, prettier, and even more fun!" in I want Sandy:
I agree - I like the HTML e-mail, but my mail client (Lotus Notes) displays the results too small, and even at the largest setting I can't make out the rich-text version. Any plans to allow us to choose the format Sandy uses in her reminders? I'd be happy to see the scripty font replaced with something more readable as an option... – Paddy, on September 18, 2008 21:52

Oops. Maybe I'm not being clear. I think that having Sandy integrated with FireFox is a great idea. Extremely useful. I'm just saying that integration probably won't be a proper "plugin" or "extension". There's a newer (and easier) way to do it.
I'm very interested in creating a Sandy add-on for FireFox. I just don't have the time or the knowledge to create a full extension.
The new projects make it possible to add on just a little bit to to the already existing extension / framework. Just a single function or two. Using simple javascript. Previously that wasn't possible. Developers had no choice but to create a full extension. Now the Ubiquity project (for FireFox) and Accelerators (for IE8) will provide an easy way to add a little bit of functionality to your browser.

There probably won't ever be a Firefox plug-in or extension for Sandy, as there's now a better way to do it.
There are some projects shaping up that should make developing simple add-ons a lot easier. Previously a full extension had to be written in order to add functionality to the browser. These new projects make it possible to write a few lines of script to add some functionality, instead of spending hours writing a full extension. It makes adding custom functionality much easier. A simple script is much easier and faster to write than a full extension.
Multiple add-ons done as scripts can use the same scripting framework and host. In FireFox, this scripting framework/host is implemented as the Ubiquity add-on. In Internet Explorer 8, they have the ability to have little scripts called "Accelerators". This is close to the same thing. (IE8 provides a scripting framework and can host script add-ons.)
As a small example of scripting, see the bookmark icon I helped create. It pops up a box for the user to fill in with new items for Sandy. It can also send to Sandy all the selected text on the current page, as well as the page URL.

kevin1 replied on August 20, 2008 09:46 to the discussion "The difference between reminders and appointments, and how to set just a reminder for a specific date/time" in I want Sandy:
Sandy's changed a little in the past several months. Here's how I understand how she works now.
1) Anything entered into Sandy is an "item" (use whatever word you want.)
2) Any item with a date is an "event". Items without dates are not events, they're something else. (Bookmarks, Contacts, Lists, or a Note without a date)
3) An item with a date (an event) is usually the same thing as an "appointment". Except there are bugs with this. (see further below)
4) a "reminder" is an alarm attached to an item. You can set the alarm to go off at a certain time, etc. You can set the action you want Sandy to do when the alarm goes off. (send you an email, an sms, or a Tweet) If the item has a date, then the reminder can be set to go off a certain number of minutes or hours before the date. (i.e. the reminder date can be made relative to the event date.)
In my opinion, any item should be capable of having multiple reminders attached to it. Sandy doesn't allow this now, but she should. (Google Calendar does) This is also the easiest way to understand the difference between an event date and a reminder date. Realize that any single item can have multiple reminders, but it only happens once.
The "big meeting" happens on Friday at 4pm, but I may want a reminder to start preparing for the meeting 5 days before, and 2 days before, and also 30 minutes before. This last one is sent as an sms, so I can get to the meeting on time.
5) types have been odd in the past. It was possible to create an item without a date (a Note) and then add a date later. But the item type stayed as "Note", it wasn't changed to "Appointment." This also worked in reverse. It was possible to create an item with a date (an Appointment) and then later remove the date. So you could have an Appointment without a date.
6) It seems they've done some fixing recently. An Item's type seems to correctly switch back and forth between a Note and an Appointment when you add or remove a date. Adding a date to a Note turns it into an Appointment and vice versa. (It is still possible to have a List with a date. Adding a date to a LIst doesn't change the List into an Appointment.)
7) a todo is not a fundamental type. At least, not anymore. Anything can be tagged as a todo. A List, A Bookmark, even a Contact can be a todo.
Oh, and it's now possible to create both an appointment and a reminder for the appointment in the same email. Use the @reminder tag.
> remember to go to the store Friday at 3 pm. @todo @reminder 1 hour before

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.
