So we are almost in August. More than half the year gone. I was thinking to myself, there is so much that I wanted to do this year, how's it going?

OK, I've done lot's of stuff. It's been massive. But you never get to do everything.

Things Planned and Done;

• Propose to my girlfriend and have her say yes.  Tick!
• Get Tangler public beta launched. Tick!
• Read more books. Half tick....
• Start working on my house. Quarter tick.
• Go to New York for a week holiday with my GF. Tick.
• Get back into playing team sports - Tick - basketball and indoor soccer (although thanks for the injuries... am I that old?)

Not done yet:

• Get married - yep, pretty sure that will happen...
• Launch Tangler phase 2 - yep, nearly there.
• See more 'real' films - art house, world - Yeah, seen 2-3, need to see more.
• Get back to 80 kilos - these US trips don't yelp - More Burritos!
• Renovate at least one part of house - nope, next year maybe.
• Save some money - well, tough with a wedding....

How are you going?

I had no plans, So looks like I'm doing pretty well!

No plans here either. I'm still young!

How young?

I don't mean plans to take over the world or written in stone, just like "You know, this year I'm going to Antarctica!"

Isn't there something from Alice in Wonderland with the Cheshire Cat regarding having no plans...

I have done pretty well. though my list was short:

Move to Australia-done

Start Graduate school-done

Get another tattoo-done

work out more-half way there

But  can't believe this year is already half over, I guess time flies when you are having fun!

It gets faster and faster as you age.....

yeah I have noticed, I wish we could just slow it all down sometimes, but that i life

The way to slow it down is stay in uni....

I'm going back!  

Doc level in community communications?

Yeah but that only slows down your time in lectures and not the other fun stuff

Yeah Bric, hopefully

Kaz - I didn't mean it that way. Holidays and session break the year up, so it feels longer

This year has been so odd for me.... first year in 10 that I haven't been in uni....

Keep thinking its March,  but - GAAAH! It's GONNA be AUGUST SOON!

yeah it is kind of trippy the first year out since you have been in school on the same schedule since you were little.  I think in the work force we should have a summer break it would make the world a bit happier

Summer break - great idea. And since I'm in California I should be on vacation! Yah!!! But it's 2.16 am and I'm working. Boooo!!!

At least your fingers aren't frozen as you type

well its like this it depends on whether you have control - over your life and the avenues that are going to provide your goal desires.

Yes it means sacrifices, hard decisions, thinking things through but it doesnt happen over night.  This is from one who didnt know about setting long term goals - that mgt term was not around - it was really about setting high standards and ethics and looking after the customer - in the main they will look after you

good luck to you all

Good on you bola.

lets see...

things I wanted to do and have done so far:

- pass uni for semester one - Get a new job-  make heaps of new and random friends- see movies I have been told by friends I must see to make my life worth living- build up a decent cd collection- meet my dream guy-

things I am yet to do and want to do:

- get my drivers license ( yes I am slow at getting this but I am getting there)- go away on a holiday at the end of the year with my boy- pass semester two of uni- buy my first car- get my tat

2007 - have orange juice with Dan from Weebly! - TICK!

Tangler is quiet today.

Just showing embedding to Nik!

Watch how fast it is!

So nobody has any great plans for this year?

And nobody thinks its going crazy fast? It's just me.

My theory is that each additional year is a smaller percentage of your entire life and that's why it appears to get faster.

So after your first birthday, your second year on earth is equal to half of your entire life - so that's a lot!

But when you turn 49, your 50th year is only 2% of your entire life, so it has more to compare to.

Yeah?

Like this ad shows;

And only 118 days till Christmas!

yo, just saying Hi

testing embedding

techcrunch post is live

is anyone else on here live at the moment??

Hey Clay. How's it going?

Welcome into the Tangle!

cool - hey mick good to see you

congrats on the TC post

now am posting from inside tangler at http://www.tangler.com/group/1030/topic/17702

wow it worked i am now in the adwentures blog... cool

Tangled?

Cool!

this is wild

i think

This is very well made

Congratulations to the developers!

Thanks weddings. Though, we only just released the embedding option for the forums. Plenty of work to do, but the feedback is great.

So we can embed the forum into our site?

Right now you can create a Tangler forum (group) and then link to it from your site - as well as embed particular topics.

We're working on a new version at the moment that supports more extensive customization and integration, so we'd love companies who want to help us beta test that.

Cool.

Email beta@tangler.com if you're keen to be involved.

To give us ideas and feedback it's best to open Tangler.com and login. You get to Tangler feedback from the groups drop down.

Cheers.

Does tangler have a facebook app yet?

http://www.facebookdeveloperdirectory.com

Alexey

So i can embed into my wordpress site? oh, ill have to play with that

where can i find more info on integration

Rhino: you can find info in the Tangler Feedback group here Embedded Tangler Prototype

and here Tangler News July 31st, 2007

You can also  try it from the "embedded side: at

Go For Goalz! in the Adwentures blog

where I made this post from!

or Marty's blog Martin Wells : Tangler for Commenting which links to yet a different Tangler topic.

Facebook app is definitely one step closer now that we have embedded discussion working.

This looks exactly like what I have been looking for.

I am making progress on my golas and also developing a new application to reinvent my business.

1. Keep eating healthy and lifting/working out 3~ times a week - Tick

2. Continue education - Half tick

3. Get a job - Quarter Tick (in virtue of 2)

Yes I am a loser. LOL

Just trying out this site

What's the continued education?

I'm thinking of maybe doing an MBA..... I'll call Harvard!

My 1st time using this

cool how do you like it so far?

embed ASP service

What's ASP service?

1. Eat breakfast at least twice a week. Tick

2. On one of those occasions eat breakfast at breakfast time. X

3. Quit smoking. Tick

4. Take up smoking. Tick

5. Quit smoking. X

I like it Ruski. That's a solid plan. Especially the cereal, although mine would be.

17. Eat breakfast 7 times a week - i.e. cut down from 15 times.

Smoking is smelly, ugly, poisonous, dirty, expensive but other than that I'd give it a go.

I don't mind cereal but don't fancy milk. So breakfast for me requires a little effort and preparation.

Agree smoking is expensive. Moderation is the key.

Otherwise smoking gets a bad wrap.

There was this new item running this morning that office printers (or was that copiers? Can't remember, too long ago) were as lethal as smoking

*dek is still confused*

No facts were given in the story that ran here.  The supposition was that very fine particles from malfunctioning laser printers in offices could build be breathed in by office workers.

A long way from concerns with known carcinogens or effects of asbestos particles... but no doubt there will be some studies done pretty quickly now.

Well yeah, which is why I thought it was sooooo far fetched... esp the way they ran it

well, my goal is to gain weight for 4kg.

できるかな。できないかな

I've never smoked a copier.  How do you do that?  In a Bong?

Bananas?

Maybe a water pipe.  Wonder if a Sharp copier is stronger than a Xerox?

I know that Konica Minolta bragged at one time that their toner particles where more uniform in size than their competitors... so perhaps that is the measure of quality.

smoked a copier

ROFL

marrige plan, how I can find a fit boyfriend

trust me Lily they are out there

Lily, here I come, wait no more

lol aww cute

there out there but I think they are hiding

yeh I think someone needs to pull some of them out! I have so many single friends, and they are like nice, decent down to earth people and they always end up dating absolute losers! eg my best friend continues to date a guy who just has nothing going for him....I'll never understand some people and what they see in the people they date

sorry guys that is my rant for tonight

totally it is like the losers and the creeps are just drawn to me!  Where are the good, nice, down to earth guys!  That is my rant as well we can now go back to the topic at hand

Most men are fairly hopeless. The rest are totally hopeless.

I have accepted this and am sanguine

I once tried to multitask to impress a girl. Unfortunately I either kept getting distracted by something else or I was totally focussed on my task of multitasking that I forgot about the girl I was trying to impress.

Well I think I am doing OK

Quit smoking (smoking being banned in public buildings in the UK helps)

Learnt a lot of Chinese (although now I am back in the UK it is quickly going)

Save lots of money FAILED (on my last £30. thank god i am living at my parents)

Sounds like you are doing pretty good Wolf Man, I wish I could learn chinese and if I did smoke I sure I would want to quit, good on ya!

Whoa.... I just realised we're already in the 3rd month of 08!

I just spotted the post by Ruski about men being hopeless.

I once tried to multitask to impress a girl. Unfortunately I either kept getting distracted by...

Yes, this happened to me a few times.  The distraction always seemed to be the appendages of the girl in question and it tended to elicit an adverse reaction that made all my efforts to impress rather a waste of time.

LOL!

SO,

How is everyone going for plans in 2008?

Is it bad that I didn't make any?

anyone know how i get this chat app so i can embed it in my site?

See that share link in the top right medddds?

Click on that, and it'll give you the embed code

This weekend I was planning to be at home and now circumstances have changed so therefore my plans have changed. The outcome will only be definite once the time has passed.  Be flexible, that's my master plan.

If I were to judge by this weekend, I'd say 08 is turn out smashingly for ya!

I'm sat in the office, I have a small bag packed in the car and will be leaving for the airport in 3 hours...  That is my current plan.  The rest of the plan unfolds from there.

dek is jealous!

Have a great weekend Arthur!

Go Wales!!

Go the Celtic people...

Woo!
