Month: September 2008

I’ve let my blogging slip a bit recently. There was a time when I’d post one or two blog posts per day y’know. Now it’s a little more difficult, especially when there’s always so much to do.

So, you’ve seen Firefox and IE, now comes Google Chrome – a new browser which has been written from the ground up. It’s coming very very soon indeed and it’ll be interesting to see what Google can do. It’s designed to be fast, lightweight and power todays web apps with ease.
