Random Chit Chat

OK, Great. Any chance you could send me a quick PM? I've got to revise for a bit (Physics exam tomorrow), and I'll probably forget otherwise

Dang. I'be been waiting 4 hours for Chrome to load either Google or YouTube. Then I get irritated, close my browser, re-open it, and the same thing happens.

Can you ping them?

How's that?
This test was performed in the US, near Austin, TX.

It's about a 10% drop in speed. Could be worse!

Dudelewis: I've taken a brake from revision. I'll make your account now

 

[The_Lucas]

Remember, you are in the UK and I am in the US. It may be better in the UK. Find someone to test it for you.

 

[J03]

This is a US based server. A 10% Drop in speed isn't bad at all.

Dudelewis1: I've sent you a PM

alvino: Is Safari for Windows any good?

It uses the WebKit architecture just like Chrome does, but Safari is pretty poorly optimized for the PC.

Basically you should use Chrome on PC and Safari on OS X, not the other way around.

OK!!! Just restarted my computer and now I can get on
