新APP填满日程表 帮你"装忙"

App fills your calendar so you can pretend to be busy

Your friend is moving Saturday. Are you free to help?

你的朋友周六要搬家,你有空去帮忙吗?

The real answer is yes. The honest answer is no, because you're a human being and not a forklift. And also because you guys aren't really that close.

实际的回答是"有空".最诚实的回答是"没空".因为你是一个人而不是一台升降机.而且,你们关系也没那么近.

If only you had something else planned so it would be easier to say no...

要是你有其他计划,那么你拒绝起来就会容易一些.

"Got This Thing" is just that. The Web app uses your phone's location to populate your Google calendar with local stuff that's happening, pulled from public event information on sites like Eventbrite.

"Got This Things"正是你需要的.这款网络应用通过手机定位,用当地正在举行的一些活动填满你的谷歌日程表,而这些活动信息都是从Eventbrite(一个在线活动策划服务平台)等平台提供的公共事件信息中获取的.

Click on the "Get Busy" button and in an instant -- your blank schedule turns into a confetti of things to do.

点击"忙碌"按钮,你那空白的时间表立即变得五颜六色,填满各种事项.

You can add different categories, such as "Unquestionable Charity Events" and "Legit Lectures," and share your fake calendar of real events with other people, so you can support each other with your lies.

你可以添加不同的类别,比如"无可非议的慈善活动"、"法律讲座"等,还可以与其他人分享真实事件的假日程表,这样你们就可以互相打掩护了.

You can even choose how busy you want to appear.

你甚至还能选择你想展现出来的忙碌程度.

There are three degrees: "Busy," "Super Busy," and one called "Go F--- Yourself," which basically drops dozens of overlapping events into one time slot.

有三个程度可供选择:"忙碌"、"超级忙碌"、还有一个叫做"别理我",这个程度基本就是在同一个时间段安排好几件事情.

When you want to get rid of all the stuff you added, just click "Go Clear."

当你想清除掉所有已添加的事项时,只需点击"清空".

Nat Towsen, a 29-year-old comedian from Manhattan, conceived the idea in May during New York City Comedy Hack Day.

来自曼哈顿的29岁喜剧演员纳特·陶森五月在纽约参加喜剧黑客日时想出的这个主意.
