    It's a disgrace, a disgrace I say. Why do you want to know what I know I know? It's a disgrace, a disgrace I say.

    Young fella, do you even know what a chicken hawk is?

    As long as I know you know, it doesn't matter if you know you know. You knowing I know you know should satisfy you since if I know you know, even if I know you don't know you know, you get the job, you know?

    But also don't forget that:- We know there are known knowns: there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns: that is to say we know there are things we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns — the ones we don't know we don't know

    Brilliant!

    (of course, the stuff you know you know slice is too big here, but you get the idea)

    That's good, but it is missing the slice of "things you think you know, but are wrong about"

    Uh... I think you're wrong about that.

    Wait, I just proved your point.

    No, I've been seeing it too. I'm off to monitor.red-gate.com to see if I can see it in the metrics.

    Yes - I have seen it too and it has been painful.

    Oddly enough as soon as I posted that it seems to be normal again. Maybe the server read my post and straightened up. 😛

    SSC is slow for me, as is another site that I know is hosted in London, so wondering if they're related.

    I'm not seeing any indication of issues from the database side of things, so I suspect the problem lies elsewhere.

    Ditto. But then, I've been seeing it in a few other sites, so thought it was just me.

    I came to this forum just now to ask if anyone else had noticed it - I've been having click response usually in the 10s of seconds all day, I've checked loop delay a few times using ping, a few times using tracert, it's been consistently under 100ms (even during those 10s+ waits). No other sites are giving me this problem.

    I did have a REALLY cranky post submission earlier (locked up IE entirely), but I was chalking it up to taking too long to type it in.

    Wait, I just proved your point.

    No, that's part of the yelllow slice, not a separate slice. The apparently missing slice is "things you don't realise you know" (which is the second smallest of the four slices). What might have happened is that the label for that slice got lost, and the label for the "things the know you know" slice is pointing to it instead of to the invisible (because it's so small) slice that it's the label for.

    Of course subdividing the yellow slice, to get 5 slices instead of 4 would make things look a bit more balanced. But the largest slice would still be bigger that the other 4 put together (in fact each slice would be bigger that all smaller slices added together) and the "things you know that you know" slice would still be almost invisible. The slice sizes would then be

    57%: Things you think you know but are wrong.

    22%: Other things you don't realise you don't know.

    16% Things you realise you don't know.

    4.5%: Things you don't realise you know.

    0.5%: Things you realize you know.

  • Bit slow for me as well, even pulling up a response page, and I'm trying to play catchup for the entire week. I think I'll just chalk it up to meh and keep trucking. Got hit by that really nasty flu bug, laid me out hardcore over the last week. If I missed anything important or left a thread hanging someone ping me on it? Thanks.

    Wouldn't that fall under the things you don't know you don't know...? Seems so to me...

  • [font="Comic Sans MS"]The PI! It needs more slices![/font]

    You know what I hate about pie charts?

    You can never tell what filling they're using. And it's awfully hard to stick a spoon in there and scoop out the filling (no crust) without the whole chart collapsing.

    SIGH.
