The Chrome download was surprisingly fast (as in, less than 5 seconds). FireFox options import during install didn’t work, but it’s been smooth sailing since then. It’s snappy and so far not buggy. Aesthetics of rendering web pages is good, seems better than FireFox. Quite fast too. I remember thinking the Konqueror guys were crazy for writing yet another HTML renedering engine. That turned into WebKit, and now it’s in Safari, the iPhone, and Chrome. ...

Google Chrome has been public for all of about 30 minutes now. I am very impressed with how fast it downloads and installs, with almost no need for user prompts (except to close your web browser so it can import bookmarks/passwords). It’s fast as fast can be. I can’t get over how fast it is. If you type “about:memory” into the address/search bar you’ll see a memory comparison between Chrome and any other web browsers ...

Google’s undocumented favicon to png convertor (via). Showing the favicon of a domain next to a link is a really nice trick, but it’s slightly tricky to achieve as IE won’t display a .ico file if you link to it from an img element, so you need to convert the images server-side. This undocumented Google API does that for you, meaning it’s much easier to add favicons as a feature to your site.

Comments suggest that it only works when the original icon is served with the correct mime type. application/octet-stream will not work apparently.

You can query Gears for the user's current location using the getCurrentPosition() method or you can ask Gears to notify you every time ...

ECMAScript Harmony. John Resig explains the outcome of the recent “Oslo meeting” where proponents of ECMAScript 3.1 (incremental improvements to JS as it exists today) and 4 (massive, sweeping changes including many new programming constructs) harmonised their differences. The combined effort is closer to 3.1 than it is to 4, which I think is the right decision.

It's hot and stormy in Paris at the moment. Consequence? The level of pollution has jumped from "good" to "poor". When this happens, the Paris authorities declare a "free parking day" where all residential parking (that is only the cars that show a resident parking permit) is free all day. This clever measure aims at encouraging people to use public transportation instead of their car. Parking in many locations (outside the very center) will also ...
