Dumped by Google Wave

Google issued me with two developer accounts for the Google Wave Hackathon being held in Canberra on 8 August. The account brings up what looks like an email interface with three vertical panels for menus, messages and composing. My first attempt at creating a Wave (message) was not a great success. I pressed "Create", but only got as far as typing two characters when this error message appeared:

This wave is experiencing some slight turbulence, and may explode. If you don't wanna explode, please re-open the wave. Some recent changes may not be saved.

But then this is early days for Wave and if it was easy, they would not need us experts to help get it to work. ;-)
