Socoder -> Off Topic -> Birthday Bug

 		So why on earth does running out of polls trigger the birthday loop?

 		The birthday posts are made by the poll script. Whenever the server hits 00:00, it deletes today's poll. It then searches the poll bag for the next poll, posts any birthday messages, then pops up the new poll. If no polls exist in the poll bag, it'll repeat this over and over, every time someone requests the poll. It's a bit daft, and shouldn't really happen that easily, but fuck it! It wouldn't be Socoder without the bugs

 		That gave me a laugh. Such a hacky implementation could only have been implemented at SoCoder.

 		How is it, speed wise? Does it flow nicely, or does it do that annoying jittery thing that all the other android tablets I've seen do?

 		You sound like the mactards at work!!

Its perfectly fine and very fast, even impressed an Apple fanboy.

comparing it to the ipad mini is like comparing Cheddar with Feta, both cheeses but totally different products.

 		Good to know. I could do with a decent Android dev target.

 		I'm going to be receiving a Nexus 10 for Christmas, and I'm already spewing out apps for it.
