The almost compulsory Google Chrome post

Google Chrome

Google Chrome was released yesterday for windows, and google have promised that Linux and Mac versions are in the pipeline. I downloaded it on my laptop and played about with it for around 1/2 an hour.

Initial impressions are that it is very fast and doesn’t seem to hang up on flash content quite as much as Firefox, rendering being very similar to Safari’s (being based off WebKit, this is to be expected), but I did not see anything really compelling that would make me switch to it when the Linux version comes out.

I’m sure that I will download the Linux version and play about with it when it finally makes it way out of the googleplex, but in this particular incarnation, I think that there is very little that it offers over firefox and safari - certainly nothing worth writing home about. Your opinion may vary from this depending on how important flash is to you, whether you run Linux, and whether you rely on Firefox extensions. Still it looks better than the IE8 beta in terms of memory usage.

Edit: Security vulnerability in Chrome has been found already.

As usual please post your thoughts on Google’s new baby below.

I have added to the sidebar a list of items in Google Reader that I think are worth highlighting or sharing. Please let me know if you find any other sites or posts that are worthy of attention.
Edit: I have actually removed it, as it looked rubbish compared with the rest of the site. I have also reduced the number of sidebar entries so the page takes less time to load.

Google has also launched Analytics, which provides much more detailed statistics on your website, but involves a more intrusive approach, that is not for the non-technical. It provides detailed statistics on the site, but requires a piece of javascript to be placed on the site, presumably in order to capture stats. You can sign up to Google Analytics here. https://www.google.com/analytics/

Over the past few weeks I have been working on a system to accurately determine how relevant a site is to a particular topic via automated processes. I have slowly, due to my forthcoming wedding, been refining this technique, which I hope to use to rank content garnered from google, as well as several other search engines.

Hopefully in about a months time I will be able to provide more detail, as the wedding will be out the way, broadband will be reinstalled, and I’ll have removed all the asbestos from thousands of properties. Wait, that last part was a joke, at someone who shall remain nameless’ expense.

So far it is just 1 week and 3 days to go till the wedding, and it looks as though there will still be a lot to do. Unfortunately, it looks like work is getting heavy at the moment, so I will be trying to juggle sleep, work and wedding prep. as well as moving into a new house, trying to keep myself sane, and maintain my relationship with my fiance. Oh, and finances - which don’t seem to be too stressed, but its not a very pretty sight at the moment.

Hopefully things will get a little quieter soon.
