Kiwi Themes
Spent some time today chatting with the developer of the Kiwi Twitter App. Started tweaking some of the pre-existing themes for the app to better suit my needs. It’s proving surprisingly fun.

Getting it ON (the Screen)Been fighting off a severe case of procrastination and fragmentation of my #IMD related work, having it turn up in places but without it ever getting into my University Blog.
I’ve finally settled down into the process of getting work pulled together and will be working on the more technical side of things over the next few weeks. This will also be juggled with the Live Project (starting tomorrow), the FETm Report and polishing off my Facebook App which, whilst it works, is ridiculously slow.

Just a little bit more on my Facebook. I’ve finally gotten the functionality perfect. Unfortunately the actual loading time of the app is exponentially poor, taking longer to load the more friends a user has.
Why? It’s quite simple. For each friend listed there are a series of queries run. These queries equal to the number of friends you have, to check and see which of them are common friends. As a result of this a user with 10 friends will run 100 queries (10 friends, 10 queries each) and a friend with 20 friends will run 400 queries (20 friends, 20 queries each).
As you can imagine this gets pretty insane when you get pretty high up there with friends. A user with 500 friends run 250,000 queries (500 friends, 500 queries each), which is just insane. If anyone has a suggestion on how to make this not so insane I’d love to hear it, as Facebook seems to lack a functionality to identify common friends in bulk.

This is a sketch that I put together in class yesterday, by the way of procrastination in my class. I found it shockingly therapeutic. Might play around with this kind of sketching some more in the future.

Spent some time procrastinating on my own work today, ended up messing about with some CSS to come up with some branding ideas for one of my friends.
