Book finished

Cold Days by Jim Butcher

That was EXCELLENT. Easily the best book in the series for quite a while, in the running for the best in series period. It was suspenseful, surprising, funny, emotional. I gave it 5/5 stars on GoodReads. Normally I only give 5 stars to "must read" books that define a genre, like Dune or The Stars My Destination, and since I don't think this book would be nearly as good without having read the rest of the series first, I thought about giving it 4, but in the end I think it's unfair to hold that spot for only books that are only good with the backstory filled in.

RE the ebook version, the publisher formatting is nice, good enough that seeing it in the Google reader caused me to try to get Moon+ to do it as well. It really can't do it properly so I looked around more and am currently using Mantano reader, which does an excellent job of rendering the book beautifully using publisher formatting, and is extremely fast and seems stable. I've also tried Cool Reader and Aldiko. CR isn't really that good of a contender, Aldiko is OK but my nod currently is for Mantano.

LiveJournal editor

Wow, if you get a really long post on LJ, editing it becomes extremely slow.
I have a historic post that contains every book I've read (the backfill from more than about 5 or 6 years ago is by memory and sketch) so it's long, like hundreds of lines long.
Even in "HTML" mode, when I'm typing the keystrokes lag several SECONDS behind, and it's destroying an entire core on my machine (not a blazing machine by current standards, but it is an AMD 64 dual core 2.8GHz with 4GB of RAM - typing in a text editor shouldn't bother it.

Even typing in this short thing is drawing up to 10% of the CPU (20% of one core). I don't know what they're doing, but it's not efficient.

Interesting, it seems to actually be BETTER when typing in the visual editor.  Still not great but better.  I wonder if typing in the HTML tab is really causing the visual version to be updated, then the HTML to be generated back from that.
