First Post from Google Wave

First Post from Google Wave

As Promised this is to be my first post from Google Wave. I have to say that my experience has not been perfect already. Firstly I could not get the Posterous Robot to work properly in Chrome. When I tried to login it would not put the password in the password box, instead it wrote it in full view in just above. So I switched to Firefox and that had no problem.

Secondly when I start a new wave there is a comment from the Posterous Robot. It says Edit the root wavelets Title and body. Well the body was obvious because it was immediately above. But where is the title box. It took a moment to be brave and enter the title into the first line of the body, but, hey presto it worked.

Nice points include a really easy way to add tags (no longer do I have to remember how to put the tag on the subject line.

Anyway my flight to Vegas is boarding so I have to go. More to come.

Google Wave

So, I got my google wave account this morning.  I have been waiting for it for some time, I think I watched the original video at least three months ago.  Some of my original fervour has cooled but I still believe the technology may have value in future releases of IBM SPSS Data Collection.

Of course to understand its potential and whether it really works I need people to interact with.  I have 8 invites that I will use wisely but I need more than that to get a true perspective on the possibilities.  So if you out there have GoogleWave accounts and need someone to interact with to create valid waves please join me.

This will be the last post that I do through my SPSS e-Mail account.  For two reasons:

1.        My work e-mail address has changed to Kevin.Gray@uk.ibm.com

2.       I am installing the posterous robot to my GoogleWave account so I will be posting from GoogleWave from now on.

Adding the Posterous Robot should be easy but it does say stay away from IE as it is still buggy.  I use Chrome as my default browser so I would expect it to work more effectively (he he).  It is probably best to follow the instructions on the following link: http://blog.kangye.org/how-to-write-a-blog-using-google-wave-robot-f

I look forward to interacting with you folks out there in the near future.
