In this little guide I assume you have some knowledge of Windows. It is primarily a guide for my own use, so I can’t lose it again :) It might help you as well. Good luck.

July 22nd, 2009 No comments
  1. Downloading is illegal
  2. Downloading is theft
  3. Downloading is piracy

That is what the Recording Industry wants you to believe. But how true is that?

My personal BGT 2009 winner!

BGT 2009 contestor Gregg Pritchard

My personal favorite for Britains Got Talent 2009 is Gregg Pritchard. I normally don’t like his style of music, I would normally not listen to any “regular” (if any) singers like him, but this guy is absolutely stunning. I will not spoil any of his performance, just watch it. Goodbye Susan Boyle. You did very well, but you’re not the best!

Google browser! Chrome is here

September 2nd, 2008 2 comments
Google Chrome

Google Chrome logo

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13. Chrome is live! Some people seem to have problems downloading it but the working download is right here.

First impressions:

  1. It can import my Internet Explorer preferences, bookmarks and passwords. Not from my Firebox, but that might have to do with me using the portable edition.
  2. Funny how most visited is designed. Really good overview with website previews, recently bookmarked list and a search history option.
  3. Too less options. How, for example, can I reject ALL cookies, except for listed domains?
  4. Funny, it has a “porno mode”: “You’ve gone incognito. Pages you view in this window won’t appear in your browser history or search history, and they won’t leave other traces, like cookies, on your computer after you close the incognito window. Any files you download or bookmarks you create will be preserved, however.
  5. Tabs dragged to a new window are not considered a new window. I therefor cannot align them with Windows.
  6. Zooming in and out is NOT as it is supposed to be.
  7. Ahhhhh, no support for add-ons (yet?)
  8. I see options for Google Gears, but the option to enable it has been removed from my WordPress admin page. Errrrrr…
Conclusion for now: I’ll stick with my current Firefox. Perhaps they should share some code with eachother to get the best of both worlds.
