EtherPad, Google Wave, Buzz, and a few scripts

Why is it so hard to remember/find forces to come back to the computer that you just shut down, turn it on, sit in front of it, and start typing? laziness... (Thank God i made it till here right?) But the thing is, that i have stuff to talk about, and as of now ( February 26, 7:41 PM), I am bored because i am waiting for my friend to come back to EtherPad. Now you ask: "Hey iRapha, What is EtherPad?" and i say: it's just a google wave wannabe. the problem of that sentence is that google wave wasn't a hit. For most users, it was a miss... Let's start with the "openness" wave is: for now, it has been almost a year since it's launch (if i'm not wrong) and it still not "usable", that means that you still need invites to get into it... Another miss was the "privileged internet needed 'feature'": Google Wave is so heavy that my friend, who has a regular internet connection for developing countries and a 'sent by me' google wave invite, can't use it, because of the heaviness of wave. Recently Google bought EtherPad and gave invites to everyone that used it. As of when it happened, me and my friend were using EtherPad because of the Wave misses listed here. So, now, we're writing a medical comedy (which i can't give out details). 50 minutes ago he said: "hey, BRB, 5 min ok?" i said "yeah" and that's our love story... So i checked Twitter, Buzz (which is still sending annoying messages to my inbox) and even DailyBooth, thing that i like, but don't have time. So, i came down here and... well you know the rest... Do you have any good news? I really need socialization otherwise Lady GaGa will kill me by the 16th time i'm listening to "Bad Romance" and "Beautiful, Dirty, Rich" oh god...
