Yeah, I have not been utterly thrilled with the Astrid syncing. I had issues at first with inordinate amounts of data for the sync, and since I'm severely limited as to overall data, this was problematic. That seems to have gotten resolved, but there still is more of a delay (than instantaneous!) than I'd like between devices.

I have actually killed notifications on Astrid as a result, which I realize is pretty seriously messing with its usefulness, but it was driving me batty with its extra reminders and the odd timing of "from completion date" recurring tasks. So I look at it to use it, which is less proactive, but less annoying.

If my phone wouldn't remind of something I already told my tablet I'd done, I think I'd be fine, since I don't have bandwidth restrictions. But I have no idea what really happens with a "from completion date" reschedule" when I am marking it done on different days--not consistently anyways.

I already have a metric buttload of tasks in there. I paid for the extra widgets. I don't want to migrate to a new solution. I wish it just did what it says on the package.

Well, if I have a 'from due date' recurring task, it pops up again for me on that day of the week, for example, whether or not I've completed it. But 'from completed date' only pops it up again after I've marked it done.

So for example, I set up 'take out recycling' as an every two weeks task on a Monday. I might miss getting it done this Monday, but maybe I finish it next Wednesday. If I'd scheduled it as 'from due date' it would show up immediately again to do (for the past Monday). But in reality, there's no more recycling to take out, and won't be until some accumulates. So I schedule it as recurring 'from completed date' and once I check it done on Wednesday, it won't show up again until the next scheduled date in the future, i.e. the following Monday.

Yeah, me too. I'm in. I like it. I just want it to work completely. Like with working hours for unncompleted task notification. I don't need to know on Sunday while I'm watching football that I didn't get the bank stuff done. I can't do anything about it until Monday, so leave me alone, Astrid!

Is anyone else getting a TON of Google/YouTube spam/phishing emails? Two of my alias email accounts are getting barraged with them. Like 3-4 a day. (OK, barraged might be over-hyping it, but 3-4/day x 2 email accounts that spill into one Inbox is 6-8 at a glance.)

I always mark spam as spam and google does a good job of learning moving spam into spam box with false positives and false negatives being rare.

Google has been slower for me than usual though.

OS X mail doesn't have any heuristics, right? No Bayesian shit happening in the background?

Because many of my primary email accounts don't come through gmail. My domain host is decent at cutting out much of the spam, but it's tiresome how often I still see the exact same shit come through. At least with Eudora I felt I was accomplishing something by junking.

It's supposed to.

I assume there's something in the algorithm that makes tossing duplicates of things you've marked as spam, but the visible body text is often repeated (AFAICT) multiple times over a month. It's tiring...

I end up paying Google for Postini. I haven't found anything else works as well.
