By "frustratingly slow", what are we talking about? It's been running for over an hour with no progress and my computer at work automatically reboots over the weekend. How long do I need to keep this tab open?

- Uehreka 12y agoThe way bl.ocks.org works is pretty cool. Here's what you should do: 1) Go to the Gist that this bl.ock refers to: https://gist.github.com/mbostock/11357811 https://gist.github.com/mbostock/11357811 2) Fork that Gist and make your changes. 3) Go to bl.ocks.org/niels_olson/11357811 to see the finished product. bl.ocks just displays whatever Gists you have up on GitHub, so you don't have to make an account or anything.
- echion 12y agoThanks for the easy-to-follow instructions. I could quickly come up with an updated, less-likely-to-bore version ( http://bl.ocks.org/mdengler/a36fac5f10098bb94846 http://bl.ocks.org/mdengler/a36fac5f10098bb94846 ), and included a version of your instructions and link to your comment.
