Cool, tried to get it to work on my own machine, but that's not as easy as I'd hoped 
However, here's a visualization of most of my repository commits by person over time:

Wow, I'm impressed you recognized it! I certainly didn't.

Wow! Reminds me of a colony of lice breeding on a 2nd grader's head! No wonder modern software doesn't work. The visuals are stunning, though, and very well produced.
It makes me very happy that I did my professional development before all this collaborative crap was invented. It was bad enough to have to work in a pig pen full of distractions; having other people mess with my code would have driven me to homicide. In the years when I wrote industrial strength code for the DoD, I spent more time correcting other programmers' errors than writing my own applications. There's no way I'd ever let some other clown access and modify code I've written and thoroughly unit tested. I wasn't meant for this error-ridden world. I don't know how you guys and gals do it, but I'm proud of you for have the patience to do so. You can always sneak back in at night at fix the stuff your coworkers screwed up, I guess.

My tablet has been charging really slowly for a couple of days - like I used to leave it on standby while I slept and it'd be 100% by the time I wake up: but now I'm lucky if it charges to 50% when it's turned off and charging all day. Tried different chargers, different cables, ...
So I ran a toothpick over the micro USB connector and it seems to be charging faster, and I'm guessing it's gunk build up over time. Anyone got a good way to clean it, given the connector is teeny?

Sulfuric acid ?

Difficult to get hold of in the UK these days.
And I'm not convinced it will do the PCB the connector is mounted to any good.

Did you ever have a chemistry set? Make some yourself! 
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

sulphuric acid may be hard to get but normal car batteries (normal cars, not normal batteries) still mostly use HCl
... if it's one of those newer fully sealed batteries may need to apply a hammer and awl/chisel rock and screwdriver discount store scissors to get the good stuff out - and a good supply of bandages to stem the blood flow when the discount store scissors shear at the hinge and puncture your wrist and other fragments fly into your eyes.
there's still proper man-toys available with a bit of looking around, ... lately I've been recycling HDD's to get rare earth magnets (newer HDD's often only have 1 magnet - damn cheapo [oem] manufacturers.)
This internet thing is amazing! Letting people use it: worst idea ever!

What do you do with the magnets? They are tiny and not soooo strong. How about this one[^]?

That's why I want to ship that strong one in a small box. The poor mail man.

Too strong and far too heavy. I would not get off the ground with it.
The strongest ones I have here right now are in this motor[^].

Q-tip and Isopropyl alcohol (let it evaporate mostly - just damp, not dripping). Adjust the cotton tip to your liking. Works like a charm. I also use compressed air to get the big dust particles, etc. out.
Also, wipe down the connector to the charging cable as well with a mostly evaporated alcohol wipe, etc.

Not enough space for a Q-tip - it's a USB Micro-B socket, so I can only just get the tip of a toothpick in there, and can't "rub" the actual connectors at all that I can see. (See http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/devclass_docs/CabConn20.pdf[^] Page 41 / 48 - or Page 33 as far as the document page numbering is concerned)

Stupid me, I was not paying attention to the type of connector you were specifying. Um, yeah, I would just use compressed air then. I would not use a toothpick as you could damage something, but that is your call of course.
