Looks like the Great Firewall or something like it is preventing you from completely loading www.skritter.com because it is hosted on Google App Engine, which is periodically blocked. Try instead our mirror:

This might also be caused by an internet filter, such as SafeEyes. If you have such a filter installed, try adding appspot.com to the list of allowed domains.

Items due

When I look at the items due in the next five days on Skritter, is there any significance to the blue and grey patches in the squares?

TIA

the mouseover text says:
"Click the light gray boxes to change your date range. (You're currently viewing the boxes with blue bottoms: Weeks of April 11, 2011 to May 9, 2011)"

Kai, you're looking at the progress page.

I could be wrong, but my assumption has always been that the blue graph (if you want to call it that) represents when in the day you have items coming due, so if there's a big spike at the right side of today's box, your items due will spike this evening, etc.

Thanks, Kai and FatDragon. I must admit I hadn't noticed the mouseover text - there is clearly much more to this Skritter than meets the (mouseless) eye.

That must be right about times of day. Actually I take no notice of the numbers. I just plough on, but I never finish. I do about 20 minutes a day. I have concluded that the reason I keep getting more 'due now' is because I just made a mistake and there will be a premature second review, but I just move on at my own pace, three or four times a day. As long as I don't get thousands of items due, I suppose it is OK.
