Hey this is COOL!!! Thanks!! I will send it to my frenz too.
AWESOME JOB!!!
Good job!! How to do i “unhide” something i clicked as hide ??
Hi JCW,
i’am working on this feature. currently it is not possible to unhide something. but the hidden event will show up when it is due (or) past due.
thanks

This is a great tool. Very nice work! Thank you. For my purposes it would be useful to have the option to leave out the hours and minutes detail, as it tends to obscure what is most important. Other than that it is near perfect.
My Suggestions:
1.) Give the option to count in days or months or years (for example, I am using this to count my sobriety…it would be nice to be able to count days for the first 100 days, then switch to just months, then after some time, years and months). It would be fantastic to be able to customize how you want your count up/down displayed (date/time format, days, months, years, minutes, hours and/or any combination thereof)
2.) Ability to customize the color scheme to match my themes
3.) Ability to show/hide todays date/time at the top
4.) Ability to order your count ups/downs by your importance rather than only by length of time passed/due.
Otherwise, I absolutely love this tool. I use it all the time for all types of things. I also suggest it to many others in AA/CA.
Thanks for all your great work.

Hi Kenton and Andrea,
Thank you very much for your constructive comments. I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment. I will start working on the next version soon (i’m just trying to find some free time) and will definitely include your feedback into consideration.
thanks,
Mahin
Looks good, the only thing I have to say is that I would use it if it worked with google cal. I am sure this is not a easy thing to do but would be nice
anyhow good work thanks
I have been using this for a little over a month. Worked great until today. All my countup and countdowns dissappeared. Any ideas. It would be great if there was a save option to store an archive of the different events. That might eliminate what happened to me. It is great tool for a law office, where due dates and making them mean the difference between winning or losing a case.
Dovid,
your suggestion is great. And I’am glad you got all your events back. I’am working on new features that will definitely include a way to backup the events. thanks..
Great tool! Here are some suggestions for you:
1. Allow the user to customize the countup/down format. For instance, I don’t really need to see the hours and minutes for most items, just days.
2. Allow the user to specify whether the countup starts on day 1 or day 0. You have it implemented as starting on day 0.
Hey Mahin!
Still using it! Love it still….
Any news on a new release or upcoming features? Would love to have a days only or months only count…Sobriety and all, you know…;-)
Thanks
Andrea
Hey Mahin!
Is it possible for next release to add in an popup alert when a momemnt occurs? Also if its possible to edit the popup to occur, for an example: 1h, 2h, 3h, 1 day, 2 days etc before?
When do you plan next release?
Cheers Per
Hello,
I can’t get this tool to work. I can add an event just fine but whenever the page is refreshed the event disappears.
Please help.
The problem is that the user preference is not getting saved. (http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Gadgets-API/browse_thread/thread/36f4205df1d14ea9?hl=en ). I have to wait until Google resolves this issue. People who are already using this gadget will not have any problem. New users will face this problem of re-entering the key.
Is there a work around for the preference problem.
Any way this can be ported to Netvibes
Netvibes doesn’t have a single countup timer
I’m looking into porting for netvibes. Just need some time
thanks.
Hi!
My My Moments app dissapeard from my igoogle page. What could happen?
It looks like this:
http://www.imageserve.info/img_store/2007/12/30/d/d2ce97258c5c6bb545c2db0b1d5d7137.jpg
Great tool anyway.
Does it look like this always ? I would assume it is just a temporary problem. It could be because the server was down temporarily. Let me know.
Can’t save my events.
Well, it looks like this 3-4 weeks ago and still appears like this.
Oh yes, and I changed it back to english version of igoogle from hungarian and still the same.
I, too, cannot get the thing to save the events I put in! When do you think this problem will be resolved? I would really like to use this gadget!
Google has promised to fix this issue soon (Visit GOOGLE ISSUE) .Once it is fixed, I will update it to newer version that most of you requested -Mahin
Is there a way to add an audible alert when a countdown is up? Or a pop-up–I’d like to be able give myself an alert before a meeting, for example.
Thanks,
This was mentioned once, but we need a “unhide” feature. Great otherwise!! Thanks.
how do i use it as a counter?
~Chrissy
Chrissy: you can try my activity tracker. It functions like a counter . http://www.screeperzone.com/2007/08/09/activity-tracker-version-01-released
I meant like a clicker counter type
Hello. Your gadget is exactly what I have been looking for, for what seems like forever. I’ve tried javascript, PHP, nothing seems to work quite like I want it to. The only thing I was wondering was, do I have to enter my name or key each time the page is loaded? My website is viewed mostly by my family who can’t or won’t be able to figure that out. Thanks.
Any update on the netvibes version??
How do I change the appearance of my moments? I would like to make larger so more prominent on my page… Thanks!
This looks like a very nice gadget. I hope you will port it to a Vista gadget soon.
