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.

Currently I use the Twitterlex widget to tell Sandy what to remember. But in the end it would be great to see a dashboad widget that syncs so I can schedule appointments offline. Email is not really an option, because I use Mailplane (Gmail online), and I don't like cluttering my mailboxes with ultra-tiny messages.

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

A comment on the idea "Can we twitter placemark names instead of addresses?" in Brightkite:

The issue with the $place variable still displaying the full address in Twitter is a known problem and we are working to fix it. Thank you for your patience. :) – Lesley, on August 15, 2008 23:31

What is frustrating is being able to "customize" how Bkite sends updates to twitter, but not being able to override the automatic insertion of the (address/location) of your check-in place. Bkite gives us the option to customize "$place" yet still automatically inserts the address, city and state information, even though you can add "$city" and "$state". I wouldn't consider this buggy, it's more of a specifics and organizational issue.

Pretty much all of my schedule depends on this.

I just want to add my vote for this feature.. Meetings are scheduled like this. @firstmonday type tagging would be great

This should be an optional feature because many times I use shorthand to make checking in faster.

For Example: The southern most Walmart on Bardstown road I may call WMbardS

Of course I know what that is, but my friends may not.

This is still needed....

I agree!
Sandy is such a help! However she would be even more helpful if she had her own Mac (Dashboard) widget...
Please...

Even if it was just manually defined terms for each of @firstsunday .... @fifthsaturday, that would be fantastic! Entering these dates manually is for the birds.

Seems like this thread has been abandoned so I'll just add a renewed plea for this essential feature. I see the original question was posted seven months ago, do any of you employee folks know if it's due to be added any time soon? Sandy would be much more useful if she could do this! Thanks

Well, I upgraded my Growl to 1.1.3 and hahlo and the userscript started working great. I am not sure why, but it works now.

A comment on the problem "Growl Notifications not showing up" in Fluid:

I was more specifically referring to what site the userscript was for. I believe Hahlo did change some things as YungSang and I both experienced some problems a while back.

Your best bet is to comment on the userscript page, as this technically has nothing to do with Fluid. I am sure YungSang will look into it. – cawlin, on June 11, 2008 19:50

Userscript is at userscripts.org so i doubt that it has changed. It is here:

What userscript? Could be the site that changed.

Michael, glad you're liking the mobile version! Keep in mind that it is in alpha, so it's only going to get better. :) – Lesley, on June 10, 2008 20:50

The Generic Browser referred to by Wilfred works great on my Blackberry 7100. The full fledged site will not let me Check In at Placemarks which was a tad annoying. I also do not have SMS on my phone, so that was not a possibility. I am glad that the Generic browser is working.
