The Great Google Wave invite thread. Anyone who wants an invite post your Gmail address here and anyone who has invites available please use to invite the people on this list. There are also a bunch of requests in the Invites group here: http://friendfeed.com/invites
I have a few but holding them for a few people who have already asked me. I'm at kolint [at] googlewave [dot] com btw. A pain I know but if you can, could you update your comment when you have an account or just delete your comment. Ta! :-) EDIT: Try this site for invites: http://googlewaveinvites.com/
- Kol Tregaskes
Are people on this list getting invites or at least been told they have an invite on the way? You might have to be patient, it could take a long time for one to come through.
- Kol Tregaskes
Adam, yep agree. Maybe because I did that (month ago though) helped me get mine through from Vijay so quickly!
- Kol Tregaskes
@Kol, the invitation process seems to be based on nominations. For example, everytime someone nominates/invites you, you get bumped up the queue for an account until you're at the top and you get sent an invite by the team
- Ysabel Legaspi
Ysabel, ah I see, So lots of people must have nominated me. Darn, so a few users I have nominated could be waiting a looooong time. :-(
- Kol Tregaskes
if that voting system is right I'm very annoyed. I asked for an invite months ago, now all the numpties are all over it I'm not going to get a look in. It's like I've been sat at the front of a shop queue and everyone's just walking right past me into the shop. I am British but I detest both queuing and waiting, so this is pretty tough going

neternity@gmail.com and i promise to send a wave of 100,901 twitter followers to your doorstep each of whom will have averaged 1 tweet in their existence - this might not get me an invite but surely it will get some notice - must have that something special - my google wave invite special sauce ingredient is twitter juice PS Not to be construed as an offer, not valid in any of the 53 US states, do not try this at home, caution: contents are hot.
- Ross Button

- Ross Button
how do we know which ones are sent? I'm just doing my own thread.
- Raphael, Raphael
I've been too busy to get on FF the last few days....figures something important happening and I missed it! I knew about Google Wave but didn't know there would be a thread to post a request. In any case, better late than never, I'd love an invite at madeliene2007 at gmail.com. :)
- Bonnie Foster
I've been on Twitter all day trying to get one, I'd love it if my day can end by me finally getting an invitation :) I'll be sure to send some invites to other people in this thread! andryou@gmail.com

- oliv21
How does anyone know if someone has already been invited? You could go back and edit your comment when you receive an invitation, but since that takes days, it could be ages before you know.
- marziah
I've not even had a nomination, RK. At google dot com I'm suezanne , in the event anyone wants to make a nomination. I've asked before on friendfeed. It's kind of humiliating to beg.
- SuezanneC Baskerville
i have decided that if i do indeed get an invite, i will decline, forward my gmail account to windows live and put ie back as my default browser and i will bing it
- Ross Button
@Ross: why punish yourself for something you didn't do? :)

- Allan Besselink
I'll wager that some of the folks on this list have received their invite by now, or no longer want one - I have 16 invitations at this instant. It's probably easier for me if you DM.
- SuezanneC Baskerville
fifiquimbo(at)gmail(dot)com. I would love one, thanks!
- Fifi Quimbo
I have 8 invites to Google Wave, if someone is interested, please DM with e-mail address. Ciao, Andrea
- Andrea Romoli
i'm asking primarily because i have questions...but there's no forum really for them on the CulturedCode site. Was wondering whether it would be worth setting up a group for the app - if there are enough users out there
- Zee.
I do, have done for a while. What's up?
- Keith Bennett
although it's probably the best task management app i've come across...I'm confused about things like postponing the date on a task...that doesn't remove it from the "today" list. Why not? And I can click on "not today", that will do it but does that mean it wont appear in my today list ever?
- Zee.
ive got more questions btw, but thats one of them :P
- Zee.
The Today list doesn't have anything to do with due dates. It's just a list of things you'd like to get accomplished today. In other words, the Today list doesn't care which day it is and has no concept of overdue tasks. If you have a due date, or if you'd like to postpone something and have it automatically reappear later, you can change it to a scheduled task which will bump it back into Today on the day you choose. Otherwise, it'll camp out in the Next list.
- Akiva Moskovitz
by the way if you haven't bought a copy yet, give "the hit list" a try... I've used all the GTD-apps out there, but this one is really making your life easier, especially with its unbelievable keyboard shortcuts. You won't regret it. http://www.potionfactory.com/thehitl...
- msevim
Ah i see Akiva, that makes things much clearer! @Chris - thank you, i couldn't find the damn thing.
- Zee.
Yeah, The Hit List is really good too. In fact I use both. One for work, one for private stuff..
- Chris
@muhammetsevim I did actually try thehitlist (and loved it because of the outliner like features) but if there's one thing that nearly every todo list app i've every tried has been missing is reordering of "today's tasks". Things is the only app I've come across that allows for in depth organisation as well as reordering of your today list.
- Zee.
I've been looking at this. Currently using remember the milk. Wondering what the benefits would be of Things over RTM?? Anyone used both?
- Robert DeBord
Yeah, i've used RTM - and frankly my biggest gripe with it was the ordering of lots of lists. I ended up with about half a page of lists before i could reach the actual todo list. I didn't like the fact that there wasn't any manual reordering of tasks either...
- Zee.
Thanks Zee, I can definitely see where that would be a problem. So far I don't have more than a dozen lists, but even that gets a little much.
- Robert DeBord
Also, Things has such an attractive interface, it makes it a pleasure to use. Personally, I can't stand web-based software (which is why I don't use stuff like Gmail or Hiveminder). Give me a nice-looking, fully-featured desktop client that can sync with my phone over anything else any day of the week.
- Akiva Moskovitz
@Akiva, for sure, although i wish Things had a better syncing mechanism. Correct me if i'm wrong, but if you spend an hour organising your todo's in the morning...then leave home forgetting to sync it - you're screwed right?
- Zee.
Yeah. That's the one place where OmniFocus wins; it allows you to use WebDAV. I'm hoping that Things allows this in future versions, too. In the meanwhile, I've just trained myself to sync Things when I'm leaving the house and I know I've made changes.
- Akiva Moskovitz
right, yeah - think i'm going to have to learn to do the same
- Zee.
Another idea is to sync immediately after you're done messing with it.
- Akiva Moskovitz
what happens if you make changes on the desktop, forget to sync, make changes on your phone during the day, then come back home and sync?
- Zee.
Things is really smart about merges. I've never had a conflict that didn't work out logically.
- Akiva Moskovitz
things does look as the best desktop app. but.. syncing via web makes much more sense.. I will not (tested and proven :)) will be able to remember doing the sync when i leave.. i keep using RTM just because it's always there for me.. so.. i'll wait to see what they'll do
- Naor Mark
Just started using Things quite heavily. It's been pretty awesome so far.
- Arlan Koizumi
For those of you looking for web-based sync, you should e-mail the developers and let them know. The more they hear about it, the more likely they are to include the feature.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Tried but never got used to it. Mostly because there's no way to use it crossplatform...
- Ralph
i reckon there are enough users here to justify a group, I'd join and prefer interacting with friendfeed than a standard forum
- Franz Sittampalam
just hesitant in case the devs would be against it
- Franz Sittampalam
from IM
Just an idea: syncing via MobileMe would be just perfect. Like Wallet from Acrylic sw does (unfortunately I cannot use it, since not available in the european app store).
- ialla
I would join a group too. I don't use the desktop app so syncing isn't a bugbear for me but I adore the iPhone app which keeps me sane and involves less time organising and more time doing!
- Nico
great app! I'm still wating for its online version. ;)
- Serkan Unsal
i wish they synced with Remember the Milk
- Ouriel Ohayon
@Ouriel, that would be great although RTM's data model is much simpler (at least it looks so), yet with some smart mapping to lists and tags...(one of these moments i wish i was still coding and could try that :))
- Naor Mark
Used and liked it all though the beta, but moved over to RTM when the product finally launched. I think its WAY too expensive for what it is, especially considering that RTM is just as good and free.
- Todd Brunner
from twhirl
do RTM fans miss out on an inbox for when they don't have an internet connection? An ideal inbox needs to be omnipotent for me...
- Franz Sittampalam
from IM
@shedali It's not a problem for me because I work at home, so I don't spen a lot of time away from my computer. Plus you can tweet tasks to RTM from your phone, so if you can send an SMS you always have an inbox.
- Todd Brunner

Moodle is an Open Source Course Management System (CMS), also known as a Learning Management System (LMS) or a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE). It has become very popular among educators around the world as a tool for creating online dynamic web sites for their students. To work, it needs to be installed on a web server somewhere, either on one of your own computers or one at a web hosting company.

Puts Blackboard to shame but I doubt faculty anywhere will adopt this (considering the adoption rate of most "new" technology is rare.)
- Brandon Mendelson
Hardly new Brandon, it's used all over the world! Whole schools and universities run on it in Aus

At one time, my employer was assessing moodle as a replacement for Sum Total and Saba.

Not a problem... I'm liking the tabs-at-the-top and the Top Sites page. Can't test too much. Currently at FOWA and the WiFi is zonking out.
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
Definitely liking the Chrome-isms. The search results when typing into the location bar have a really nice and clean presentation. I wish the left-most tab didn't blend in to the window control widgets, though. Although I used to be a big Speed Dial user with Opera, I'm not sure I'll get much use out of the Top Sites page; I tend to just go for the Location bar when I want to bring a site up. It's a lot quicker to ⌘-T and start typing. Heck, I barely use bookmarks anymore.
- Akiva Moskovitz
It does seem very quick on Windows. Will try Mac and Linux when I get home. Will be sticking to the Mac interface by choice I think, though I understand the desire to make it more native for windoze users.
- Nico
Not sure if this was there before, but I like that the search box works on the current page's content as well.
- Carlos Granier-Phelps
I would definitely prefer it to look like Windows on a Windows machine, personally, so that's another great feature.
- Akiva Moskovitz
I like the new top sites page. It looks great and it works pretty well. As far as the worst, I would say that it still doesn't have all the options that it should have like Firefox.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
I can't seem to install the 1Password browser extension.
- Christopher Harley
i can't use safari to write a post on a wordpress blog...because it won't let me insert links :( Everyone else in the same boat?
- Zee.
Zee, strange. I just tested it out and it's allowing me to insert links without a hitch.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Not sure I like the fact that the tabs extend the width of the browser window.
- Akiva Moskovitz
Ok I love that bookmarks work in an iTunes-like music library fashion, now that's pretty cool
- Jennifer Van Grove
I also don't like the fact that you have to click on one part of the tab to drag it along the bar.
- Mathew™ one of a kind
had to uninstall rather disappointingly. What have you done Holger?
- Anand Tucker
CTRL+ page Up and down functions don't work =( It is fast though but still lacks in mutitasking
- Ian Cleasby
from twhirl
Like the UI, Top Sites, and Speed. 1Password extension wasn't working at first, but I went into 1Password Prefs, turned off support for Safari, shutdown 1Password (already had Safari off), then brought up 1Password and re-enabled Safari support. When I started up Safari, it was all installed properly.
- Seth Greenblatt
I lasted an entire day with the new tabs. I've reverted back to the previous tab UI. It feels so much better now that my title bar acts like a title bar and my tabs bar acts like a tab bar.
- Paul Grav
Best: speed; noticeably faster than FF 3.1b3 (Shiretoko) on my Macbook. Worst: no extension architecture; any time I gain from quicker pageloads would quickly get eaten up by less efficient workflows inside browser. Not worth the trade-off

“Have owned my iPhone since last summer and just realised I never set up voicemail. Didn't know I had to. That'll be why I've never had any.” - http://friendfeed.com/e...
You are not the only one! The other weird thing is that when it has no reception (quite common round here) it implies there are messages when there aren't with a "+" sign
