So Long Sandy, Thanks For The Memories
By Brick | November 25, 2008
I just got the news yesterday that Rael Dornfest is closing down iwantsandy. I have written glowingly about Sandy in the past. It seems that Rael has accepted a position with Twitter, and that’s truly great. I am happy for him. The problem for me (because hey, why shouldn’t this be about me) is that I have come to rely on Sandy! I was setting up reminders into 2010 using that system and now it appears I will lose all that. I wonder why Twitter, which apparently bought the intellectual property for iwantsandy, would not just keep the current system running while they figure out what they want to do with this technology?
Plan B
I have opened an account up over at Remember The Milk (RTM). My plan is for this service to replace my beloved Sandy. I had tailored Sandy around the system described in Getting Things Done (GTD), so I have had to figure out how to do the same in RTM. Here are a few links that describe using RTM for GTD and have helped to get me started:
- Corrie Haffly on using RTM for GTD
- Polish guy on same
- Efficient Task Management
Life goes on…

Brick, believe me, I feel you pain. Stupid as it sounds, I really look forward to my adorable email from “Sandy” every morning.
It appears that Remember the Milk is the best replacement available, but that cow just is not as cute as Sandy.
It’s a sad, sad day on the Internet.
