Google Chrome

September 3rd, 2008 1 Comment

I am using it now. I’ll let you know if there are any serious issues I hear about/know about.

Rendering is not what I’m used to in Firefox, but I’m not surprised nor really bothered by it.

We’ll see how it goes. For work I have to keep using IE 6 anyway, so that’s not going anywhere for a while.

But I’m not so secretly very pleased to see this development. Seems to work OK with SharePoint 2003. :) We’ll see how it goes.

It only works for Vista and XP right now. But the rendering engine is the same as or similar to Safari’s.

And Google Reader gets a little bit better

May 6th, 2008 No Comments

Google’s apps improvements are seeming almost telepathic to me. Yesterday I was thinking (and didn’t write it down anywhere) “Gee, it would be cool if I could annotate shared items so folks knew why I was sharing them.” and suddenly today you can.

Let me just say that it would also be cool if I could add a tag set to each shared item so I can share stuff for work and stuff for friends from the same reader account.

Update: Okay uh… nevermind, the tag thing is already available. Wow.
