Flowgram really sucks. During my visit, whenever I clicked the forward button, it either redirected me to a page extraneous to the advertised presentation, or just didn't do anything at all.<p>Granted, this is my first experience with Flowgram.

After staring for 10 seconds at "Loading" thingie I gave up and hit "Back". I live in 2008 with dual core machine equipped with 3GB of RAM and hooked to the Internet via 8MBit fiber connection. I don't need to wait even a second for anything, let alone 10.

i watched this all the way through (interesting stuff around slide 15) and the one question i have is how do they control sequential writing to a singular 'haystack' file that is being (artificially) capped at 10GB.<p>they are using offsets to seek in this large file to limit their exposure to unnecessary file metadata.
