Chris’ Blog

Ok, so Google created a browser. I haven’t spent a ton of time playing with it, but its worth a look if you haven’t downloaded it yet. It can be downloaded for windows only right now at http://google.com/chrome. Below are my thoughts:

1. It seems to load pages (particularly AJAX based apps) quite quickly.

2. It seems to respond quickly in general as far as switching between tabs and pages and such.

3. I like the tabs in the top bar and not having them take up the normal bar - it made the whole thing seem like it had a lot more space (although I do also have the web developer toolbar taking up a row too…)

4. I need some of my add-ons from Firefox, namely Adblock Plus. I just could not stand to use it for very long for real web searching with all the ads interrupting me…

Overall opinion - I like it but I will wait and let it develop before I think hard about adopting it as my default browser.

So we counted the days left of school today. Something like 50… Too many if you ask me. Physics is killing me, as is this huge relate project they have me working on at work! Today actually started last night in a meeting when George handed me a paper and said - “Figure out why the numbers are wrong!” So today was completing that task. Well the short answer was that the numbers were wrong because George was looking at the entire thing, and not just the final section. The interesting thing came when I noticed that NONE of the new section was even filled out, and even worse yet, the data that was displaying out to the web page that the office was using to send out incentives, it wasn’t even right! Oh boy… we are in for a fun time here… So basically all the work that was done with the study is gonna take TONS of time to figure out. To top it all off, I have physics to do, a lab due at 5pm tomorrow, and a midterm exam due at midnight… On a more happy note, I purchased a domain name (www.cjhess.com) and reseller hosting from www.webhostingbuzz.com, and I am out to make a name for myself. Well, ok the site isn’t up yet, and my first goal is to get KLTSalesAndService.com moved over so I can get the $4 a month for that thus making my $5 I just spent only $24 for 2 years, and not $120. It will be good though, I now have 5 GB of space, and the possibility of unlimited domains that I can host there (starting with cjhess.com- my personal site, HessWebServices.com(My hosting site which I can move over next week and Setup), KLTSalesAndService.com, and some family web sites like HessFamilyPage.com and TurnbowFamilyPage.com or something…) So there, I’m up to what like 5 pages already, even though only one has content and thats KLT and I won’t move that until I’m sure its stable… Oh well… I guess I’ll move this blog over there… We will see!
