You Can Put a Pig in a Dress, Too

This weekend, as part of my ongoing project of pretending to be my age, I picked up my first decent coat in Freeport, Maine.

Now to do something about everything else. This could take a while. Maybe I'll start with the hair.

Signup for Sandy

Having little besides time at the moment, I've decided to try out a new productivity tool. IWantSandy.com is an email-based natural language calendar/to-do notification service. It's by the original creator of the Blosxom CMS that runs the Space Toast Pages.

There was no setup required beyond email, password and confirm password. Thus far, I've sent the service an email asking it to remind me to call a staffing agency that's been doing some work on my behalf at 1PM. The message was in the following form:

Remember to call Tigres Pileser at the Windy City Senate at 555-555-5555 at 1PM.

In theory, IWantSandy.com will send a reminder to my inbox at 1PM today. Supposedly, it'll also store the contact, company, number, and so forth for retrieval at a later date.

We'll see how it does.
