Google Chrome - Wow!!!!

Tried out Google chrome…. And my only response is, I am addicted!!!!

 

I had started off expecting that I won’t stick to it for long, considering that I am pretty happy with FF3. But after using Google Chrome, I realized the advantages of having a separate process for each tab. Yes it does not have the add ins, but I am sure those will follow.

 

Even IE8 beta 2 takes a couple of seconds to open a new tab (with no content displayed, except their usual about:tabs). Chrome opens up a tab, and also displays an intelligent page, in less than a second :O.

 

These guys know how to build a browser!!!

 

Things I love to do with this browser.

-          I enjoy draggin a tab out of the window…. The dragging UI is pretty cool

-          The rendering engine is pretty fast.

 

The only problem I seem to be facing is, I am not able to open google s applications such as Google reader. (When I try to open google.com/reader, it directs me to the login page but does not show the UI to login and just stops there). I need to figure this out. It may be because of some nonsense corporate policy (our company has some really crappy internet usage policies.)

 

Anyway,

Also check Serious Security Flaw in Google Chrome and Try To Uninstall Google Chrome (have not checked this considering the crap policies I mentioned about L).

How many times have you got sick of developing Sites which have themes???? I mean every page u create has to have, maybe in ASP, something like <link href="<%=Session["ThemeFile"]%>.css"/> I have been doing since a long time. Do mention if you have a simpler method of defining a variable CSS for your page!!! Whidbey simplifies this further. Now in ASP.NET, all you will have to do is Create Themes directory, if not aldready present, Create a directory for each theme required, maybe Black, Gray,etc. Dump your CSS files into this directory. in Page_PreInit method define the Theme as Page.Theme="<Theme directory Name>". Further can be made into Page.Theme=(string)Session["ThemeType"] and viola, your theme management is take care by ASP.NET When you want to change the theme, the...

B.O.F.H.

Was browsing the net, and found some old link to BOFH. Not sure as to how many used to read PCQuest some time back when it used to come, but i remember reading them, with of course re-reads and re-re,etc...i can go on you know. Anyway, it's about a system operator who is bugged by no-brainers asking silly computer related queries, and this guy repling with wierd answers. I had never known the origin of this character, until i saw this . Anyway for those who have never read BOFH, here are two of them.
