I Wander » firefox

Appearances can be…

I thought I should change the appearance of my blog for the new year (and I was also tired of the old theme). I think this theme is a little darker than I would like it to be but it suits my ‘I Wander’ tagline a little better than most other themes. I”ve tested this to work on IE8 beta, Firefox3.x and Chrome. Be sure to let me know if this appears broken in any other browser.

I’m pretty glad to be done with 2008..well, almost.

The browser war

The past week has seen a couple of new browsers in the market, namely IE8 beta 2 and Google Chrome. And I must say that the winner. by far. is IE8. Now I’m not just saying this because I worked at Microsoft this summer. I’m saying this because Chrome, in my opinion, is a pre-alpha or alpha release at best. Sure, all the Google websites load up in a fly and the javascript engine is awesome but this crap isn’t supposed to be in the market just yet. It can scroll pages down but not up, has issues with doing simple functions on Facebook and other sites, and starts keeping the cpu busy for reasons beyond my cognition. (Maybe it’s analyzing your cache to convert it to Google Cash).

Now, Internet Explorer on the other hand has definitely been a step forward in the right direction. In fact, I’ve moved from using Firefox exclusively to 50-50 share among the 2 now. The built in search similar to Firefox is good, doesn’t break any existing sites, has a compat mode, safe-browsing mode, an addon site, and a host ofother features and the usability going for it. Go ahead, try it out. I bet you would be pleasantly surprised.

A note to Google – I’m sure the browser is going to in beta forever, just like GMail and other services, but that isn’t an excuse to roll out a POS browser and expect people to forgive you. If you break it, you fix it. Here’s a funny take on the Chrome being touted as the new Web-OS and Windows-killer.

Me ‘like’y'!

I think i’ve finally stumbled upon a theme that I like. (it’s still broken in IE though *^&&*^#$, please use Firefox). I came across this theme while I was fixing some things on my uncle’s website and it’s pretty neat.

Thanks for putting up with my wavering mind/designs. Now I need something else to kill time

I give up

I’ve spent the past couple of hours trying to find a theme that doesn’t break in either Firefox or IE and it’s just frustrating. If it doesn’t break, well it doesnt render properly.

So, screw that and if you think this website is broken, then you should use Firefox or Opera for best performance. What a waste of a friday night
