Google Wave is an awesome tool, but right now I don’t have enough contacts on it to make checking it part of my daily routine. This causes me to miss the occasional activity of those friends who do use it, however rarely. Today I found an interesting wave which had been sleeping in there for the last five days, so I decided to look around and see if there are any notifiers available. The one I picked was Waver, which happens to be free, and works on both Mac and Windows.

Are you using Google Wave? What are your thoughts on it so far? Can you recommend any other desktop clients or notifiers for it?

I’ve (belatedly) updated my iPhone 3g’s OS today. Just after the update, it started to heat up, and was not recharging no matter how long it was left on the charger. Restarting (hold down the home and the power buttons simultaneously for about 10s) seems to fix both issues.

First law of IT support – try restarting the bloody thing.

See you thereI’m sitting in Barcellona’s international conference centre right now, waiting for the keynote speech for TechEd EMEA 2008 to kick off the 5 days of the Geek.

It feels fun already, my only gripe is that I can’t go to ALL of the sessions unless I learn to be omnipresent or something :’( Then again, most of the stuff on discussion are so cool that my head would probably melt down if I took it all in.

After the silence …

And so it’s done. Things have been quiet here for some time, and it’s not just another attack of apathy on my side this time. We’ve pushed out two new products, but I’ll let the Chief of chiefs tell you about those.

What Marlon has not mentioned is that Speed Up My PC, affectionately known as The Sump, is, as of last Wednesday, Certified for Windows Vista. The process is certainly stressful (the testing is a lot more intense than I remember the older Certified for Windows tests – but maybe that’s just my memory covering up for trauma), but not as much as I’d anticipated. .Net goes a long way through helping you do things properly. In any case, congratulations all around to everyone involved :)

There will be some more silence for another week or so while everyone gets some overdue R&R, and then… well, then I’ll see if there’s anything I can be bothered to write about. One problem at a time :P
