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).

So you have your website deployed in PROD ... now what ??

Posting on behalf of Usr.Web.Speed - My previous job had been to architect and develop websites for various customers. During that time my team and I have architected and developed various web applications mainly for enterprises. (But below info is not restricted to enterprises) Other than the usual development and testing tasks involved, our focus area was to abide by multiple SLAs. One of the primary SLAs was to provide the users of our websites a very low (usually subsecond) response time (or page load time). To adhere to this SLA, we did multiple activities, in code, process as well as infrastructure. These include (but not limit to) - Using best practices including (http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html) Determining the optimum number of calls to the databases, open connections, etc. Providing the fastest mechanisms to download associated content (such as stylesheets, JS files, etc. over CDN) And debugging the reason for the slowness of the websites, when ...

My first problem with AJAX

I was using Callback (AJAX) to retrieve a page i had developed . Lets start all over, I was using AJAX to retrieve a part of the contents of a web page. Cool, simple, it downloaded without a pain, then I innerHTMLed it to a span tag. Worked fine, successful, clapped my hands etc.etc. Clicked on the button which had seemed to appear out of nowhere. And then, it all fell apart. The feared exclamatory symbol appeared on the status bar.... And for the newbies, thats an indication of a JavaScript error in IE. Of course, as usual i was all curses at my IE window......Anyway to make a long story short (i AM quite sleepy u know). the scripts which i seemed to be innerHTMLing to the span tag are not executed. And what i mean is anything between the script tags which have been innerHTMLed to that span tag are not executed. Of course i can see a ray of hope in the distance. I mean the distance till tomorrow morning. And just for kicks, check out a hi-fundoo flash file titled EPIC 2004 . And for...
