@Peter - no worries, I have an allergy which has made my mouth swollen (eek) and my speech even worse than usual. I would’ve sounded like a wookie on Skype. A session next sunday should see me healed and ready to take on those EntreLister’s new to ILLWY.

You’ll like Git, not that I know anything about Subversion. GitHub makes version control far more fun by all accounts, so I’m betting Wakoopa will be on GitHub soon too.

Did you see the comment from one of the guys at ILLWY? We finally got through to them! Maybe we can influence the choice of Power-Ups in the next game…Balloono.
Charles, I want a heat vision power-up, like the one Predator had. That, or a way to take control of another players’ screen. http://entrelist.com/?p=73#comments

@Everyone - still good for a Blockles session tomorrow? I think 7.p.m GMT (I think that’s the same as last time) will be fine for me. Fingers crossed we have more arcade games available, but the ILLWY guys do have a pretty solid lineup now, and I’m expecting to hear a bit more about them in the press soon. GigaOm went mad over the first dating-iteration of the site, and I think it’s about time the bloggers came back to see what they’re up to now.

Has anything interesting cropped up for you guys in the last week or so? @Peter, I like the Wakoopa biz cards, got a glimpse from one of your tweets with Ryan…

Speak of the devil, Ryan just made a great post on using GitHub. I’m lucky because I came straight to Git without having used SVN seriously, but this has some handy tips for SVN-Git converts and version control newbies like me;

GitHub rocks, btw. Ryan and I are both customers. Peter, what are you using for version control at Wakoopa?

@Everyone - Peter and I were thinking of doing an ILLWY session this Sunday. I’m good all day at the moment, let’s see what works for everyone else (maybe some time in the evening?). Some highly-competitive Blockles and furious Draw would be great.

@iPhone. I’m so so so glad I didn’t buy a first gen now we know that the 3G will be aggressively subsidised. By doing this, Apple just made one of those moves which we always think the big cos should do, but they never seem to have the guts to carry out. I may even put in a pre-order on the O2 site today.

So, hands-up; who on EntreList won’t own an iPhone by the end of this year?

@EntreList - I may have asked a similar question before, but does anyone have any thoughts on this site? E.g. Do you have any suggestions for improving the layout? Is the input box big enough? Too many tags, maybe? Or, do you have any thoughts on the conversation?

Finally, we’ve been using the @SomeDude comment-directing convention on EntreList for a while now. Do you see any synergy with how Twitter handles the conversion to user profiles, and do you think there’s a place for this on EntreList?
