Error in macro: <>

2009-05-19 Thread MrLich

I didn't see anything regarding this error already listed in the
discussions. Has anyone else run into the error? Is there someplace I
can get a fresh copy of the macro?

Re: Bad layout of this group in Firefox

2009-05-19 Thread Ken Girard

As far as I know the theme on this page is a generic Google theme. I
don't think they allow any customization to the themes.
When I was looking at this site this morning in Firefox 3.5, I did not
notice anything that was off on it.

Now that it's essential, it's verging on unusable. Suggestions?

2009-05-19 Thread Jonathan El-Bizri

Hello all,

Like everyone here, my professional and personal life is now neatly
contained in the essential and wondrous jscript and html wrapping that
is monkeyGTD.

And I live a very full life. Exceedingly so it, apparently, since now
that I've made mGTD essential, it's starting to verge on unusable.
I've tried all the basic tricks (turn off animations, empty the dead
tiddlers, etc, etc), but I need something more drastic: my morning
check in now takes over an hour, mainly because I’m waiting for stuff
to update. Quick add is now no longer usable – adding more than a few
items can take up to ten minutes to process.

Tiddlywiki.org ( http://tiddlywiki.org/wiki/Performance_Issues )
suggest turning off inefficient looping functions. To wit:

"The problems reported by people with large TiddlyWikis are usually
performance based, and it seems that the solution (once you've
disabled animations..) is to remove macros that loop through every
tiddler, like the tabs in the sidebar. So it's not so much the size
that's the problem in a direct sense, but the fact that many TW macros
assume that looping through every tiddler isn't very slow."

Well that's fine and dandy, but strikes me as a stop gap measure: it
might give me another megabyte of functionality (or so), but looking
over my back ups, I can expect to be creating at least a megabyte or
so of new >permanent< (ie tiddlers, reference items, etc) content by
the end of 2009. And as things get more and more complex, and we
capture more and more of our lives in this amazing tool, I can only
see performance being a greater and greater issue.

I’m sure I’m not alone in needing a faster implementation of mGTD.
Suggestions? This hasn't been addressed to any satisfaction anywhere I
look.

It’s high time for a project that takes mGTD from it’s flat file
roots, allows clean data migration, maintains the easy customization
of functionality (and where at all possible compatibility and
installation) while providing a few orders of magnitude faster
processing and rendering.

Comments? I couldn’t organize my life without mGTD, so if this problem
hasn’t been solved already, I’m going to have to sit down and solve it
myself. Anyone want to help? (I'm f-ing hopeless, so if you want a
solution any time soon, you’ll have to pitch in. Ok, not quite
hopeless :>)

Speeding up slow mGTDs - hide Timelines and tiddly list in a slider

2009-05-19 Thread Jonathan El-Bizri

I just implemented this suggestion - hiding the timelines and tiddly
lists. Not sure how much of difference it makes for me yet, but it's
working.

http://www.giffmex.org/twfortherestofus.html#[[Tips%20for%20speeding%20up%20performance%20on%20large%20TiddlyWikis]]


-
...(1) add the following to the end of SidebarOptions: <>
(2) cut out the text from SidebarTabs and save it, leaving it blank.
(3) create a new tiddler TabContents and paste the text that used to
be in SidebarTabs, which should be:
<>

--

To my unsophisticated eyes, this doesn't look like the most elegant
way to do this (why not just slide the SidebarTabs instead of making a
whole new one?), I might clean it up if it seems to be working out.

Hi Jonathan,
You don't mention which browser you're using so I don't know if you've
already tried Prism (http://prism.mozilla.com/)?  In exchange for the loss
of a few browser features, Prism gives me an enormous improvement in speed.

2009-05-19 Thread Jonathan El-Bizri


Thanks, I'm checking it out.

So far, it hasn't behaved very well: a quick add of 5 items crashed
it. I will continue investigating and report back.

Is there any reason why adding new items would be particularly slow?

Thanks,

Jon

Re: Now that it's essential, it's verging on unusable. Suggestions?

2009-05-19 Thread Jonathan El-Bizri

With all macro'ing tiddlers closed and all of the sidebar macros
placed in sliders, it's pretty zippy! Thanks!

And being able to minimize it to the system tray and being able to use
Firefox while I wait for it to 'compute' are definite improvements.

Long term, the scalability issues will need addressing. I'm sure I'm
not the first person to think about this. Could you point me or recap
any other discussions any of you may recall here on the list? I'm
using the search function, but haven't found much yet.
