    I has one!!!1eleven!!one

    A kind soul invited me and it's awesome! Anybody here with another Google Wave account?

    Btw, this might be incredibly useful for bug tracking and stuff in the future. It basically adds a whole new dimension to old systems because you can reply to and edit every post at any time. Still a few bugs in it in Firefox and it doesn't support Opera yet but I love it already.

    It's use as instant messenger is somewhat unfamiliar and you have to get used to it but otherwise it has the same awesome functionality as a normal wave.

    Sounds like they gave invites to users of Google Code first, makes sense too I guess.

    I read they were concerned that too many users would saturate the servers they have in place for wave. Imagine every new user would just get 3 invites to hand out. Wave would spread like wildfire and would probably break down because they would just overwhelm the infrastructure they have in place atm. Besides, they want to test wave and you can't do that if there are too many users sending in bug reports.

    Wave is really fuggin' awesome.

    me and Jessop have been trolling one another and talking about evil maths courses at university.

    it's brilliantly addictive.

    i just need a bigger screen to view everything. *sigh*

    This.

    Yup, my old 19" widescreen isn't cutting it anymore. I just had convinced myself that a 22" TFT might be big enough for me but now I'm thinking 24" again... I just need a good graphic card to go with it.

    I watched the Loooooo0ong intro video.... Sure it has some cool features... but I still don't see what all the hype is about. From what I saw, it's just a fancy mix of Google Chat and Gmail with some embedding features.

    The thing is, I requested Google for an invite but as sorian said, it takes time so I don't know what I'm up to.

    If I had it, where would I see the function?
