chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 11:48:02 2009 Drool. I want a sandbox account.
nhill PRO rank	Sat May 30 12:28:31 2009 Is there something wrong with me if I get a boner watching this
nhill PRO rank	Sat May 30 12:28:54 2009 hypothetically speaking, of course
sstrickland SDANWMU rank	Sat May 30 13:29:58 2009 SDANWMU is gay
FSB rank	Sat May 30 13:31:48 2009 So's your face.
FSB rank	Sat May 30 13:32:14 2009 And your fucking facebook picture.
FSB rank	Sat May 30 13:32:22 2009 And your mom.
FSB rank	Sat May 30 13:32:34 2009 Also I fucked your sister.
Celedhel JAC rank	Sat May 30 16:01:49 2009 Turn an hour and 20 min video into an easy to read post for me please
earthpig rank	Sat May 30 17:31:46 2009 intertubes are slow.... there a decent video about this that is NOT 1 hour 20 min long?
chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 17:42:42 2009 For those unwilling to watch the 80 minutes of goodness. http://mashable.com/2009/05/28/google-wave-guide/ I am seriously considering learning Java so I can legitimately apply to get a developer sandbox account. What gadgets or robots do you think people would like to see in the Waves? I was thinking something along the lines of link-to-wiki (though I'm sure someone probably has had this in mind) or link-to-music profile at last.fm. Another idea I had was a simple as-of-typing currency conversion, which should be a little less reliant on external APIs. Thoughts?
chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 17:43:34 2009 Less complete guide, for a first look: http://mashable.com/2009/05/28/google-wave/
chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 17:54:17 2009 Actually, now I'm looking at the possibility of creating a robot that will automatically detect the time zones of the contributors and provide a time zone "translation" automatically.
chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 18:03:59 2009 "Zoney"? - a robot (perhaps gadget) that will allow contributors to easily interpret time zones within wave text. Robot would be able to detect user time zone settings and provide both the origin and converted times. Example: User A (GMT) types: The site will go live at 20:00GMT. User B (-5) sees: The site will go live at 20:00GMT (15:00EST). User C (-7) sees: The site will go live at 20:00GMT (13:00PST).
earthpig rank	Sat May 30 18:13:51 2009 ok ya, that looks fucking cool. you could use making a UGT gadget as your learning tool, fyre :) 2 things im moderately concerned about: -vendor lock in. -i did not see a clear definition of what it means by 'open source'. client? server side architecture will be open source? -cross platform compatibility. i dislike that a company with virtually all of its architecture built on linux continues to release linux versions as an afterthought. (google earth, chrome)
earthpig rank	Sat May 30 18:14:45 2009 and bye two, of course, i meant three.
earthpig rank	Sat May 30 18:23:04 2009 but yeah, ill still play around with this :)
pillz rank	Sat May 30 19:23:11 2009 frye - if you can think of it, it exists or is in the making. this is the first rule of scripts/bots.
pillz rank	Sat May 30 19:28:21 2009 earthpig - it is Google. they will not allow you to host a Wave on your own servers. of that im pretty certain. although i guess you may be able to 'rent' out google wave servers to set up your own wave? when google says open source they very rarely mean it in the sense we want them to.
earthpig rank	Sat May 30 19:48:46 2009 i know. i'd prefer them not to use the term. use 'shared-source' or something microsofty like that.
pillz rank	Sat May 30 20:00:30 2009 I still dont see a point in Wave. It brings nothing to the table that Vent/IRC dont already have.
chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 21:03:31 2009 Combination, fool.
pillz rank	Sat May 30 21:15:27 2009 pffft. not worth using a google product for.
chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 21:26:42 2009 I love Google. I want Google's babies.
Google rank	Sat May 30 22:01:47 2009 hai!
pillz rank	Sat May 30 22:03:21 2009 Google is like the embodiment of evil on the internet. Google and Adobe. Fuck you, Adobe.
chicgeek rank	Sat May 30 22:13:41 2009 I like adobe, too.
Agri rank	Sat May 30 22:33:26 2009 I like any software that does what I want it to do :)

Still Well rank	Mon Jun 01 23:17:04 2009 without watching any video is this like a web conferencing tool?
pillz rank	Mon Jun 01 23:18:13 2009 sorta?
Still Well rank	Mon Jun 01 23:22:14 2009 So I could present this to the president as a new method of content delivery, spend the next 3 months "investigating" its applications to our needs, conclude that we are fine as is. If only google could come out with a few of these a year.
pillz rank	Mon Jun 01 23:27:06 2009 Fyre and earthpig can give you more details. I'm happy with my current tools =)
Still Well rank	Mon Jun 01 23:28:25 2009 yeah I broke down and am watching the video.
earthpig rank	Tue Jun 02 02:51:15 2009 imagine a dozen people standing in front of one white board, all with markers and erasers. and there is a video camera pointed at the white board recording who does what. does that sum it up well?
tragically hip rank	Tue Jun 02 06:15:23 2009 Does it record them in the bathroom?
tragically hip rank	Tue Jun 02 06:15:59 2009 It's not really on the internet unless its somehow pornographic. At least not on my internetz. *hip thrusts*
earthpig rank	Wed Jun 03 02:04:57 2009 i approve of the above comment.
