Google Apps drop support for IE6!

Google Apps drop support for IE6!

Feb 03

Well, if you ask me, it’s about time that big parties drop support for it… I’ve done that a long time ago – and you’re even getting a warning on this site when you’re running IE6 or earlier – and soon I’ll block anyone using IE6.

The amount of work you got to put into supporting IE6 is a pure waste of time, and all of my projects are going to start blocking IE6 – even if the site works perfectly with IE6 – starting at 1 March 2010, the same date as Google.

For your information – IE7 stays supported ;)

Google Chrome for Linux… really neat!

Google Chrome for Linux… really neat!

Dec 10

Like many of you already know from reading this site, I run Ubuntu.

I’m open for lots of things, and always looking the new, and that’s why I am running Ubuntu now, just like I ran Windows 7 months before it’s release.

One of the new things I had to try was the new Google Chrome for Linux, and it’s neat. It installs and updates easily, the skins fit good in my (dark) theme, it’s awesome. The addons are handy too, though only one could be installed without working (CoolIris). The other 2 are just awesome ( a GMail notifier and Twitter notifier), and fit very well in the browser. And the GMail icon is nicely animated too!

The twitter addon even lets me shorten my URLs in it, and gives me the option of which service I’d like to use. I generally choose tr.im, and not bit.ly, so this is nice :D … Now I finally have a twitter tool! (Adobe AIR doesn’t run on my Ubuntu box yet :( )

I would recommend strongly to try this browser, if you’re like me and always looking for new things. Or you just are tired of Firefox and Opera, or want a speedy browser. Well, I got like tons of browsers now… Need to clean up… see ya later guys!

Note: Hearst pointed out a very neat site, containing the top 10 Chrome add-ons. I’ve accidently removed his comment (though I still know what is in it – Firefox back function rocks ;) ). You can check the site he mentioned on http://www.pcworld.com/article/185744/top_10_chrome_browser_add_ons.html
