Getting Things Done

[gothick]

I've finally succumbed to the inevitable: it's time to get my life organised. I've now signed up with two Getting Things Done sites, nozbe and neptunehq to see which one of them has the best interface. I'm using one for work stuff and one for home stuff. So far it's a fairly even split...

Anyone else out there use onliney to-do list/GTD things? I need something web-based (at least in part) because I'll have to access it from a PC at work... (I've looked into iGTD on the Mac, and it was a bit pants, so I'm avoiding it for now.)

Erm?

Okay, so this is a stupidly American question, but what does "pants" mean in the context in which you used it? (i.e. "it was a bit pants, so I'm avoiding it now.")

I understand 95% of what Australians, Irish, Scottish, British, and English folks say, but this one has me somewhat stumped. I have a general idea, but in an effort to not look like a complete retard, I'm asking.

On another note, I am completely unorganized, so I couldn't give you any ideas for web based things that will get you organized. In fact, you educated me on some things I could probably use.

Urban dictionary (not that it is the oracle) lists 'pants' as :

rubbish, no good, bag of shite



Another similar word in a different dialect (in this case scottish) might be 'pish', which is listed by the same font of all, er...stuff, as:




Variation of piss, most usually used in the north (particularly Scotland).

stop talking pish
ach, pish!
what a bundle of pish.

"pants" means "rubbish", "crap".

Urban Dictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com) is great for stuff for like this!

Okay. THanks for the infor. I'll use that little resource in the future if Matt, or anyone else for that matter, says anything in a vernacular that torques my brain.

Heh :) So shall I, in fact. I'm impressed that it's got "bobbins" in it; I'm probably slightly more likely to use that than "pants"...

Had to look up "bobbins". Now, Im really glad I got that link. ha ha

Although asking actual users is half the fun about learning new words. Or new meanings for old words.
