There are, that was working as one before, but I think google changed something a while back, and I hadn't got round to fixing it yet. Will have a look at it soon then.

I tried getting to that wave ID through this:
https://wave.google.com/wave/#restored:wave:goo...

And there's only a little message at the top of the Wave box saying “You are not a participant in this wave.”

Is there such this as public waves?

Comment on Why I won’t buy an iPad yet by flotsky

True, actually getting my hands on one may make me more interested. However I'm prepared to try to resist.

The load of shite in terms of apps is a problem, I was discussing this with someone today. According to him, he finds it even worse on Android, the app store there is full of it. Of course on both there are great apps, but the problem can be finding them. I tend to find mine from recommendation and from blog posts. It is rare that something new I'd like actually shows itself readily in the app store. This is something that needs looking at. My suggestion was that rather than being more open, Apple should actually reject virtually everything, keep it for only the good stuff. Or maybe have a second division app store.

I hope that some web developers make the most of it too, I'm sure we'll see some iPad exclusive themes out there

I'm the same though I dare say I'll cave in before you. I have a feeling playing with one will loosen my wallet quite quickly.

iPhone apps were dodgy for a while at the start but now there's a load of solid, great stuff (amongst a load of shite of course).

Can you imagine 2nd, 3rd gen software when devs are used to that screen real estate? With multi-touch?

Yum.

I blogged recently about the recent weather. Aaah, the joys of being British.

Well in a perfect world, when you're done with it, you chuck it back in and turn it into something else. But I agree, in practice it really will be a concern, and I admit I don't know enough about how well the plastics break down, or indeed can be reused. That is the aim.

My biggest, Gibsonian concern about fabbers: is the stuff they make biodegradable? Recyclable? Or is it just another, more convenient way to produce land fill?

Sorry, been reading Ballard again:)
