Wave being a bit of a tsunami.
Google wave, I have to say, is one of the only web apps that I took over an hour to figure out.
Google wave is like email on steroids. You can send multiple people a “Wave”, in which users use a comment -type content submission system.
These “comments”, are called “Blips”. Quotes “For The Win”.
Blips can be edited by all people, and I’m not 100% sure that they can be edited at the same time. I’ve tried, but it got pretty confusing. I’ll jut pretend that you can’t.
Although two people cannot edit the same blip at the same time, two people can create two separate blips at that same time, and see each other typing.
One cool feature about wave, is it’s ability to embed what they call “Extensions.”
These extensions are in a way, a replica of the flash player. They are a JS API for web based web apps. They use HTML for the JS, and GUI, which I have to say, is pretty cool.
I recently found a percentage bar extension, which, sadly, I’m not too impressed by. The GUI is great, and for that, I am using it, however, you are left to directly enter the percentage. I wanted it to instead take in a fraction, and from that generate a percentage.
So far, I have THAT done well, however I am trying, and failing at having the system save – AHA! Breakthrough… Explanation coming. – save the values.
However, when trying to resurface the values, only one attempt has worked, and I cannot replicate the results. All of my resources are pointing to this line of code – and even though ti works later in the script, it STILL refuses to work.
Line alert(”eviil” + state.get(’in1′));
Alerts have worked before, and actually ONCE returned the correct value. 
It’s evil. Just plain EVIL!
Until….
That breakthrough. I think I know what might be wrong. state.get(’in1′); might not be directly returning a string.
Perhaps creating a variable, specifying it as a string, and tTHEN setting it, will change my results.
Programming… I love it, but it drives me nutty when I can’t figure something out.
