API

From webopedia [1]: Abbreviation of application program interface, a set of routines, protocols, and tools for building software applications. A good API makes it easier to develop a program by providing all the building blocks. A programmer puts the blocks together. Most operating environments, such as MS-Windows, provide an API so that programmers can write applications consistent with the operating environment. Although APIs are designed for programmers, they are ultimately good for users because they guarantee that all programs using a common API will have similar interfaces. This makes it easier for users to learn new programs. [1] http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/API.html

Tag Goals for Time Span

I want to be able to sort my list of 43 Things by the type of goal. i.e.: is it a long term or short term goal? is it something silly or serious?. Maybe even be more specific about the time span, such as accomplish a particular goal during lunch hour during day job.
