Chrome!

A short run today - I had the day off and nothing else has exploded so I'm running a bit low on news. Well, that's not entirely true; there's some phenomenally stupid political crap going on right now but I'm not too eager to turn this blog into a place for me to bitch about Canadian politics. For starters, I'd never have time for anything else, and frankly I don't think anyone else would even care. 

With that in mind I'm going to ramble about Chrome for a bit. I finally bothered to download the damn thing to replace the horrible sluggish pile of unused and hated toolbars that explorer had become. In terms of bothering to ditch I.E. I know I'm years behind the expected norm on the 'net. I had fallen firmly into the 'eh, who cares?' category and felt content to stay there for a while. It was only after seeing a few graphs to compare the average load speed between browsers that I decided to go from the very last place contender to the first and see if I would care enough to swap over. So I downloaded Chrome.

About thirty seconds later explorer was dead in my mind and I was fiddling with the control to swap my favorites folder over. It turns out there's one hell of a noticeable difference. Also,Chrome looks sleek. Yes, it garners points for the fancy look design. I may be vain, but dammit, my shit will be fancy.
