On waving...

 

The trouble is, everything you type into Wave is transmitted live, in real time—every keystroke was getting sent to Zach just as I hit it. This made me too self-conscious to get my thoughts across.

The Google Wave chatting tool is too complicated for its own good. - By Farhad Manjoo - Slate Magazine

 

I ran into the above problem and it really does throw one off when composing a reply. There used to be an indicator which showed if someone was online. A small green dot by the name in the contacts list. But its gone. Now you don't know if someone is online at the same time you are. If you start replying they could be looking at you type your reply. What if what you type isn't the message you wanted to get across? You can't take it back. They either need to enable the draft button, or at least get the indicator back.

Its early though, and they are trying out new ideas. I had no idea there was all this nomenclature other than wave itself:

You've even got to learn a new nomenclature: In Wave, messages are called waves, which are themselves composed of smaller elements called blips. There's also another class of message called pings, which are meant to be more urgent than waves—though once you're done with a ping, it turns into a wave. Got that?

Giving IE8 a try…

It tends to stop responding quite often on one machine (win7rtm) ...

And has tabs that are stuck connecting forever on another machine (vistasp2)... and now I'm wondering why am I giving IE8 a try?

Schtasks

Schedules commands and programs to run periodically or at a specific time. Adds and removes tasks from the schedule, starts and stops tasks on demand, and displays and changes scheduled tasks.

I've known about the at command to schedule tasks in windows, and it turns out that schtasks is a more detailed command.

For instance to schedule a task to run every five minutes:

schtasks /create /tn "task name goes here" /tr executable_goes_here.exe /sc minute /mo 5

Wave Invites

I’m starting to hate google now. They gave me eight invites. I asked a couple of friends and invited them. Google hasn’t sent out the invites. My friends are thinking I played them or something. Stupid Google.
