Chrome

In the search for the ultimate internet browser, I was surprised to find out Google have actually made their own browser.
I had never seen any ads or marketing campaigns for Google Chrome, as it's called, and was very curious to install it.

Well... I thought Opera was a fast browser... I was wrong!!
This Chrome thingy is a joy for the eye, and surfs like you've never seen before!

Although it's only available for Windows XP or Vista, (sorry... no Mac support yet), I think Google is going to score with this one...
Look here: www.google.be/chrome

Let me know your browsing experience!

Edit: Let me please stress the fact that this is a beta release of Google Chrome... Do not use Chrome as your default web browser, there still are some security related issues with it, so just install it to surf around a bit, and experience the flow of Google Chrome. Try to avoid surfing on sites where authentication is required (login & password, etc...)

New Layout + Some news!

A new blogitem, together with a completely new blog-layout.
Do you like it?

Short newsflashes for July:
- James had chickenpocks! He endured them bravely; he's now better than ever! (making walking gestures, nodding no, and blow-spraying his slobber allover you when you encourage him :-)

- The house we bought will finally be ours on the 5th of September! Hooray, we've ruined ourselves hurrah!

- I put our band's website in a new jacket: http://www.crosstowntraffic.be

- Crosstown Traffic played a showcase for the Woodstock aan de Maas festival last Thursday; on our (new) website you can find the recordings of the complete 30 minute concert. (also on YouTube by the way... :-))

- I still like Opera.

- I had a one week holiday in July, and I feel I could do with another one...

Go Opera

Last weekend I installed a new web browser.

Opera

It's brilliant.  Really.

Forget Internet Explorer.  Forget Mozilla Firefox.  Forget Safari (duh). Forget about ANY web browser you know.

You want speed?  It loads faster than any other browser.
You want security?  It's safer, and the developers actually SOLVE all security related problems disoverd in Opera. (pun intended, Microsoft!)
You want scalability?  It lets you customise and modify almost ANYTHING  you see.
You want mail?  It's got a built-in mailclient.  (A million times faster than outlook (express) or Mozilla Thunderbird)
You want more?  It's got it.

Plus, it looks great.  There's skins you can install (very very easy to do), I'd personally recommend the 'Tango' skin. 

Seriously, try it yourself; it's not a big download, it's free, and you'll notice the difference immediately:

You'll love it.
