He would, but he hates cars.

Ooh, yes, true. But which car? It has to be a cool one, obviously, but not the type of car that is driven by people who only drive that car because they think it makes them cool, and I don't want one that's been in an advert, or that's made by a giant corporation that has secretly buried the patent to everlasting electric batteries so that they can keep making us buy oil and they've built in a special microchip so they know where we all are all the time.

Indeed. The Aygo says you have arrived. That you can afford a Bentley Mulsanne Turbo, but frankly you're so superior that you couldn't give a tulip what the common man thinks.

I regularly have people involuntarily tug their forelocks as I pass by in my Aygo.

I've not had the opportunity to try it yet, but I'm part of a development team which is dotted around all over the place and we tend to use Skype a lot. It looks like Wave would be a lot smoother to use for those kind of conversations which quickly get out of sync and confusing, and for adding in screengrabs and notes and so on.

In fact, I can think of loads of possibilities, many of which I'm sure are already possible with other software, but probably not all in one place like this.

I dunno. Have to wait till I've tried it first.

It's funny, I keep seeing notes like yours from people who were given access when they didn't particularly want it, and don't seem interested in the product... while loads of us are straining at the leash here to get going with it, and we can't get in.

Certainly if I was involved in a project of that kind I'd find it useful.

When I get back to my hotel I'll log in and see if I have invites to pass along - if so I'll send you one

[TheEagle]

Invite anyone?

If anyone has an invite I would really appreciate it tried the googleinvites.com tthing when it started was number 600 or something only got an email from someone else asking for an invite so would really appreciate an invite if anyone has any spare.

I just watched another video which showed the real-time translation thing working in chat. I hadn't seen that before and it's actually quite cool.

Ace!

[threaded]

Anyone got an invite? Any good? Or is it over hyped bulltulip?

P.S. If you have a spare invite, can you send one my way? Cheers

Yeah, been trying it out. It's sort of interesting if you like shiny things, but there again I think the net peaked with ftp and gopher.
