A Few Announcements

by Casey Richey on Jan 28, 2010 1:32 PM CST in News

Hey folks, got a few quick announcements:

In partnership with NHL, one that is evergrowing I should add, the SBN Hockey guys have been blessed with a unique new feature. We've added a little video player on the right side. Make sure you check it out because you can come here for the Wings videos and our thoughts if you're looking to save time.
Kyle's landed us another sweet interview for tomorrow so check that out.
Side note, I changed my author name so no more MrNorrisTrophy. Shake things up a bit why not.
Hockeytown for Haiti is on Sunday don't forget. Still plenty of time to donate and if you want to do so, e-mail me.

Oh, that little thing that uses 100% CPU time while idling and has already caused my browser to crash thrice? (That’s Flash for ya!)

is it slowing down your computer?

It loaded surprisingly slow on my Mac.

I didn’t think it was going to be a problem, but maybe it was a combination of the widget and the game highlights video in the recap post. Bummer.

I’ve set a note around. It loaded fine on my computer so I didn’t think much about it

Part of the slowness was that my CPU was scaled way down but it’s not much faster without and I’ve never particularly liked the NHL player.
I blame the crashing on Mike Melanson at Adobe (if it’s not his fault, it’s his responsibility to fix it). I blocked nhl.com/syndicatedplayer and video.nhl.com rather than disabling Flash (I do occasionally need it, unfortunately).
