slooooooooooooooow

Oh, this is great. We’re having a development-blitz-workshop at a hotel not far from the office. It’s working quite well according to intention in that we are able to work in peace without the disturbances that we get in the office, on the other hand, we’re working on our computers back at work through a remote desktop connection and the system is running like a dog. And that is not, contrary to what you might think if you hadn’t heard the expression before, a compliment. Imagine syrup. Thick syrup. Now imagine that you pour this syrup all over an ancient typewriter. Then imagine trying to write code using this typewriter.

There is a lag in the refresh which means that I finish typing each of these words before they appear on the screen.

Lovely.

Not.
