Push e-mail and calendar for Google Notifier

Given the news about push email, contacts and calendars for iPhone, would it be possible to get push notifications in Google Notifier?

I can see that the mac program hasn't been updated since 2006, but it's still useful to me and I'm sure hundreds of thousands of other mac users.

Thanks for developing it and I'd love to see push notifications make their way into notifier.

I tweeted about this and JetBlue promptly replied. They said I should drop them a note with suggestions as to how these cases could be resolved better.

The same Morgan Johnson from the most starred reply in this thread also left his email address: [private info removed]

My suggestions are to ditch the contracted baggage handlers, hire new people as full employees of JetBlue and monitor them heavily.
Taking responsibility for the people who handle the bags is the first step and I think it would be a huge competitive advantage over other airlines to guarantee safer, more regulated transit of bags.

I hope they see this and magically implement it.

Honestly, I didn't follow up on my claim because of how involved it would be. Also, I'm aware this is an industry wide problem. Ideally Jetblue would just tweet me a voucher and I'll call it even.

Begs question though: Why does this happen so frequently and how does the industry plan to make it stop? I can think of no other situation where I would tolerate service employees rifling through my belongings and taking whatever they please. It truly happens only when I fly and absolute crap. Maybe Jetblue could boost their brand by actually solving this problem and compensate accordingly the people who report it.

I'm having this issue as well!



How do we turn off the semantic data (for now)?

John O'Day replied on September 19, 2009 01:30 to the problem "I always get this message when I leave Feedly open for a few hours" in Feedly:

"Unable to access the feedly service because [reader][0002] failed to obtain a command token because network error: 0 -- undefined." Version 2.x.046 (build 2897)

OK, this happens right as I open my laptop from sleep. I just watched it change from Feedly content to the error screen. It appears that Feedly is trying to contact a server (or a few servers) and returns error because my Wifi hasn't reconnected yet. Also, I'm on Snow Leopard.

Maybe a manual reconnect button would solve this?

I think my main problem with simply reloading Feedly is that it takes a while to Sync when it could have just remained on the page where I left it.

Thanks for your attention,
John

A comment on the praise "<3 Twones. Roadmap is my wishlist." in Twones:

i think tracker has some trouble logging multiple things at once. make sure you're not playing something on youtube itunes and grooveshark simultaneously. hope this sort of helps. – John O'Day, on September 18, 2009 20:37

<3 Twones. Roadmap is my wishlist.

Hey Twones, I checked out your roadmap and you've identified nearly every feature that I could possibly suggest. I love the service and the firefox tracker has been working flawlessly.

Thanks for errythang.

I'm actually not experiencing this problem anymore since I got the new version. New Satisfaction is way fast, thanks for working on the upgrade, yall.

John O'Day gave praise in Get Satisfaction on September 12, 2009 23:43:

Hey, Great Job!

Just wanted to drop a note to voice how completely satisfied I am with the current iteration of Get Satisfaction. The service in general has progressed to becoming supremely usable and polished. Thanks for all the hard work and keep it up!

John O'Day replied on September 12, 2009 23:40 to the problem "I always get this message when I leave Feedly open for a few hours" in Feedly:

Yes, the computer goes to sleep with firefox and feedly open. Most of the time Feedly remains authenticated with Google.

I haven't really thought to report this issue until now (It's been happening for a quite a while now), but one thing that I notice consistently is that it happens almost exclusively after waking the Macbook Pro from sleep that lasts for around an hour.

John O'Day reported a problem in Apple on August 29, 2009 06:06:

The backlight on my keyboard is dead.

Oh man. I just got this thing back from the Apple store less than a month ago and a new problem has presented itself.

The backlight on the keyboard is dead.

Is there a way I can see if this is just a software problem?
I tried the preferences and messing with the hardware buttons, but other than those two areas, I don't know where else to probe.

Heelpmeh.

Oh nice! That pretty much answers my question.

I can see how all those feature identical share options could create some serious confusion.
