Twitter Updates for 07-01-2011

[sci_starborne]

• Seriously, what is it with Twitter's CPU demand? I type something in and CPU usage leaps to 100%! Each letter takes a half-second to appear! 12:40:24, 2011-01-07
• I already have to open Notepad, type there and copy & paste it in or the whole machine lags. For a text-box. 12:41:06, 2011-01-07
• @mothdust Latest Java, Firefox 3.6.13, Windows XP, 2.4Ghz CPU, 2Gb RAM. And acts exactly the same on the 1.4Ghz PC in the workshop. in reply to mothdust 13:08:35, 2011-01-07
• And checking.. yup, typing this in New Twitter is just as bad. 13:09:23, 2011-01-07
• Also love the way I can't do ANYTHING in the browser until the text buffer's fully entered itself after a minute. 13:10:53, 2011-01-07
• Trying it in Chrome. Yup, is working a lot faster. CPU's only jumping by 10% per keystroke. 13:12:42, 2011-01-07
• Crome IIRC has the fastest Java engine of all. It's optimised for it. 13:14:16, 2011-01-07
• What is Twitter doing for typing in FireFox that requires more CPU power that 4 YouTube videos & an mp3 playing at the same time? 13:15:26, 2011-01-07
• Santander, thankyou for printing the Bank Copy of my card dispute form on the BACK OF THE CUSTOMER COPY. 14:10:39, 2011-01-07
• Also I can post or FAX it back to you, but can't email it? What, you don't have a printer? But then the 1st copy of this WAS blank, so.. 14:12:44, 2011-01-07
• Tried calling the support line and got a generic Indian call-centre where the guy could only hear me saying "branch" when I said "dispute". 14:14:17, 2011-01-07
• And why have I just been charged £37 by my card protection plan when I pay that monthly?? 14:17:24, 2011-01-07
• I swear, I was actually going to be PRODUCTIVE today, not sit around trying to stop the bank from fucking my shit up more. 14:22:24, 2011-01-07
• Was I just given a tonne of spin? Does having your card cloned mean they can access all the banks internally-stored information about you? 15:05:02, 2011-01-07
• I'm still reasonably sure I don't need the Card Protection Insurance, or the Identity Theft Insurance. 15:10:07, 2011-01-07
• The latter more than the former, which the bank itself should take care of, right? 15:10:39, 2011-01-07
• Mostly I'm just pissed off that my Nan's xmas gift cheque just got eaten by a once-a-year service bill I've used so little I'd forgotten. 15:13:59, 2011-01-07
• Ooh, and there's ANOTHER "Would you like to upgrade?" call from fucking Orange! That's 12-13 now. 15:27:52, 2011-01-07
• I feel like punching a hole in a wall. 15:28:17, 2011-01-07
• If someone actually just asks "aw, whut's wrong?" I will kill them, and eat their organs. 15:32:04, 2011-01-07
• Today has been a total fucking wash-out so far. I'm going to grab some coffee and do some wiring. 16:00:54, 2011-01-07
• And hey, two puns in one Tweet. Ennesby would be proud. 16:01:26, 2011-01-07
• @MrCullen Has been for years in reply to MrCullen 16:58:10, 2011-01-07
• Still full of rage, so reconfiguring the workshop a bit. 17:25:40, 2011-01-07
• Should really put some wheels on this transformer. It weighs a lot. Also good for 5500v o/c. No, it's not a flyback, mains. 3300v @500mA. 17:27:30, 2011-01-07
• Ah, and a reel of Cat 5e gigabit cable. Probably ~500ft left on the drum. 17:32:38, 2011-01-07

• The workshop wanted to get my left arm a piercing. My left arm was surprised by this. OW. 20:50:35, 2011-01-07
