Fibonacci patch for dwm 5.6

31 Jul 2009

Recently I weaned myself off of my Macbook and purchased an Axioo Pico. The Pico is one of the 10-inch netbooks, very similar to the MSI Wind. I took this chance to change operating systems. I use Debian on the web server, so I thought I would use something else on the Pico, but I ended up going with Debian anyway.

I'm using dwm with the fibonacci patch, and the newest version on Squeeze (Testing) is 5.6.

Saigon to Kuala Lumpur

It's like traveling to the future. (Except right at the start when I thought the plane may have landed somewhere other than KL because I could not recognize the arrival hall. It turns out Air Asia comes in to a different older, dirtier terminal.)

But back to the future. Kuala Lumpur is very clean and colorful. Its architecture is amazing, especially around the KLCC area.

Twitter's char counter JS is obtrusively slow

Not sure when it started happening, but Twitter on my browser is really slow. By slow, I mean the UI responds slowly. Specifically, when I type in the tweet textarea, each letter takes about a second to appear. Even after I finish typing the letters take some time to catch up. At first I thought maybe all those hours on typing tutor really paid off. But, no: the browser was unresponsive and CPU activity soared. Something weird was happening in the Javascript.

She called and said she built a time machine to go back in time. I got home to find all her things gone. She was gone too. I think it was a breakup.
