Google Chrome Browser

There are a few things I like about it:

It is fast
Switching tabs is smooth as buttah
Having the tabs on top was actually comfortable.

There are more things I don’t like about it:

It’s not a one-stop shop like FF (no extensions, ads everywhere, etc.)
It’s hideous
No right-click reload!!! For obsessive freaks like me, that’s a deal breaker.
Did I mention ads….everywhere?!? With Adblock Plus and Firefox, I didn’t realize there were so many sites displaying ads. Blech.
The “Most Visited” page is a curse. I want my site to be the first box listed, so now I have to reload my site repeatedly, thus driving up the cost of bandwidth usage (only not really, since I have a readership of, like, 2…maybe 3).

Bottom line: I though about using it as a quick browser, but why get out of sync with FF, which I love and will have to rely on when uploading, editing, designing, etc.? NOT SWITCHING.

R.I.P. Hewly

I am mourning the loss of my best friend, Hewly. Hewly had been more like a part of me than a computer. In honor of Hewly, I have purchased his bastard cousin, Gateship1.

Gateship1 is a low-level laptop that I can kick around and do all the things I need to do without worrying about the monetary loss should horrible things happen. Don’t get me wrong; I’m very glad to have him, and I’ll be good to him, but if he dies prematurely, I don’t think I’ll be as torn up about it as I am with Hewly.
