Google does have stupid geniuses too

To understand why it failed you must understand what is wave : groupware

Nat was in town, and he stopped by to say hi and chat, and he said, "So we've got this big pile of code we're going to release, and we're going to build an open source wave/groupware system! It's going to be awesome!"

And I said, "Jesus Mother of Fuck, what are you thinking! Do not strap the 'Groupware' albatross around your neck! That's what killed Netscape, are you insane?" He looked at me like I'd just kicked his puppy.

and it was written in an "enterprise language" like cobol err Java and in gwt , they practically
murdered java script with that crap and the format for transfering wave data :xml documents
hint it looks more like exchange system and if you wonder why it failed? think sharepoint
and it was addopted by eterprise type systems like : novel , sap and that was the target i think
people who receive messages into a big inbox and where they should reply to support messages for example

i will install pygowave http://pygowave.net/ at my work place http://reea.net/
and i think it will make a a good platform for collaboration : think one big #irc channel where documents and messages can be shared (but from browser) , if i think well maybe skype is better on that

ps: reinventing the mail system is a bad idea when you already have ....gmail (that sucks too but for that i will write another episode) and it was a bad idea that i was alone in my wave
i was expecting something like facebook with hundreds of friends and invites and lot's of spam from the apps but it was just an empty enterprise exchange type system

funny shnitz this is what google wave https://wave.google.com/wave/?pli=1 told me today in my inbox

What do you want to master? I want an Free as in freedom wave
something like http://identi.ca/ alternative for propietary twitter system
in fact you can contact me on the pygowave , it's open it's free and you don't need an invite
you just join the system
mariuz@pygowave.net

it's very important to have almost realtime javascript
this is needed so i can play chess 3d

or quake 2 in the browser

there is only one thing they shuold scrap from the browser to make it speedier svg and all that is xml related, all the interface should be painted in opengl with data residing in json format, something like QML

I would replace the oracle/mssql (+windows) monsters with better alternatives
like Ubuntu/Debian (or insert your preferred distro ) with an open source SQL database like Firebird , postgresql or mysql

i would really need a 12 core monster for my servers and with Firebird Classic or with SupperClassic

seems to be better on my netbook (smaller and faster anyway)

seems that cobol has some good frameworks that could compete with rails and growing django
it's supported on modern web type terminals VT100 compatible

I'm already sick of innodb and myisam issues also falcon and maria are in alpha/pre alpha stages
maybe it's easier to write an new engine for an stable db like firebird/postgresql
I will post my progress on this page
http://mapopa.blogspot.com/search?q=mysql

ahh by the way firebird engine is stable for more that 20 years (triggers/transactions are normal things from that time)

I forgot the clamav livecd - with it you can scan the windows partition and find most of the malware and actually you can remove them even if they are in system restore

usually i install wubi and with it you get an os without spyware also you escape the win32 virus named microsoft (called by noname antivirus win32.WindoZe)
