I wrote a post on my blog about Google Wave. I have some things I'm going to save for another day, also some videos coming shortly with more information and examples of features in use.

Anyway, check it out here; Surfing Google Wave.

Nice review (Y) Definitely one the better reviews of Google Wave I've seen. I hope Google can increase the invites soon though, as it appears they've stopped invites now, http://www.google.com/support/wave/bin/ans...p;answer=162237

Thank you! You're quite right, the system is sometimes unstable and it makes sense to wait until they are sure they can handle the amount of nominations they are bound to get.

Yea, I'm rather mad at Google because I applied several times both as a user and a developer and received no reply whatsoever. I wonder what's keeping them back from letting everyone at it? It certainly wouldn't crash their servers...

I was nominated as a developer by a friend. Even then my invite took over four days to get to me. You'd actually be surprised at how easy it would be to crash their servers using Wave.

Think about it, it's all real time; 100,000 first wave invites get sent and used. They each get 8 invites on average, 100,000 * 8 = 800,000~ real time requests, of course not all at once, but a good majority of them will be requesting to see other wave members current text.

I was talking to one friend of mine on Wave and we had several "blackouts" where our waves couldn't be synced to the server - we were affected by other members!

Interesting read. I'd be interested in seeing how you get along with creating that robot and how you go about it as I have a few things I want to do in Wave as well. Kinda annoying that so many people want an invite who aren't going to even really use it, whereas I'm sure there's plenty of people out there (like me) who want to try and develop something for it but can't get access!

I'm going to be using Python to create my robot, replace URLs with the requested URL POSTed to the API page :)

I know, it really does suck, I felt like that before I got mine.

      I agree when are you going to read this (really poor BTW) article?
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      I disagree; they come off very "bitchy" and "whiny". Make a great product and combine that with a great price (free) and people will come over to your side. Or build it and they will come as they say. Constantly trying to get attention by complaining all the time, will turn people off to your product.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      It use to be a nightmare, with LibreOffice supporting a newer draft ODF standard by default, and Microsoft Office supporting the older non-draft standard. Now that they both support the same version of ODF, they should be interoperable.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.171

      By Copernic · Posted

      Brave Browser 1.91.171 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package. Brave Browser 1.91.171 changelog: General Fixed Cardano not being disabled on upgrade to Brave Origin. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103. Origin Removed “Survey Panelist” setting from brave://settings/privacy. Fixed P3A and usage ping under brave://settings/privacy being displayed on first launch on Linux. Upgraded Chromium to 149.0.7827.103.

    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By RaidenX · Posted

      Hi. As the title suggests, I can't access the forum on my phone. I'm using Edge on Android and when I try to navigate to the forum I get a "we value your privacy" popup and none of the buttons are clickable. It effectively stonewalls me from reading any forum content.
