My secret blogger super-hero identity has been revealed….

Say hi to my mom, dad & brother *waves*

It all started when my brother stole my ipod touch to have a look at it when I was out the house with my dad, when I got back I noticed my mom and brother staring at her laptop then hiding it when I came near. Then when I got in a mood that they didn’t share what they were looking at, my mom told me that my brother found my blog and they read what I wrote about my grandfather *hugs* she then wanted to show my dad but I told her no. Later that night, I caught her looking through my blog again and again… and probably again as she ended up showing my dad who asked me why I haven’t written about him much lol

Today Google launched their own browser: Google Chrome. Google Chrome was designed to make it easy for users to search and navigate the web for the content they’re looking for.

The best bits?

1. A combined search and address bar quickly takes users where they want to go,

2. When users open a new tab in Google Chrome, they’ll see a page that includes snapshots of their most-visited sites, recent searches and bookmarks, making it even easier to navigate the web.
Google Chrome was engineered to deliver a seamless web experience for users. At its core is a multi-process platform that helps provide users with enhanced stability and security.

3. Each browser tab operates as a separate process; by isolating tabs, should one tab crash or misbehave, others remain stable and responsive, and users can continue working without having to restart Google Chrome.

4. Google also built a new JavaScript engine, V8, which not only speeds up web applications, but enables a whole new class of web applications that couldn’t exist on today’s browsers.

5. You can browse pages ‘Incognito’ which lets you browse the web in complete privacy as it doesn’t record any of your activity and discards cookies. Ideal for those people using shared computers or those who don’t want others to know what they’ve been viewing.

At the moment it’s only available for Windows users but in the coming months, Mac & Linux versions will be released. I’m currently using Chrome since downloading in a few hours ago and it is ultra fast, faster than any browser right now; even Firefox. I love the fact that you see screenshots of your most visited pages along with your recently closed tabs & recently bookmarked items.

Download it here: Google Chrome. So what do you think about it? Like it? Will you make the switch from Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer?

OMFG It FINALLY happened! I’ve had just over 1 Million visitors to my little blog since it opened in 2003 *gasp*. Last night I was writing a post about my stats and it was 700 short of 1 Million, then I lost my post as I closed the window by mistake and now as I’m writing this I have 1,000,367 total visitors and 7 people online right now *waves*.

I wonder who the 1 millionth visitor was

So want to know some interesting statistics?

I wonder who the person Kitchener, Canada is who spent 18 mins on my blog and has visited over 19 times in July… or what about the person in Massachusetts, USA who spent 11 minutes on my blog and visited 18 times… or even the person in Slough, UK who spent a whooping 55 minutes browsing my blog and visited 75 times this month alone *gasp*.

Pretty interesting… say hi next time you people

I really hope that my blog continues to grow and grow and I really wanna thank you guys out there for commenting AND making my blog popular

Now I wanna ask you all some questions….

What do you HONESTLY think about my blog and what I write?
Would you change anything about it?
What do you HONESTLY think about me, myself… the person behind the blog?

I’m not gonna censor anyone’s comments, you can praise me or insult me… I just want a really honest reaction from my readers, all those 1 Million+ of you

The other night I decided that I’d give my laptop a little clean out, and a little clean out turned into a full blown anorexic mission. I was having some problems with it regarding the speed and efficiency performance and noticed over the last few months that it had deterioated plus on several occasions the CPU Usage was way overboard which meant Ctrl+Alt+Delete was my best friend!

So, I put my geeky hat on and did numerous things:

1. removed all programs I no longer use & defragmented my hard drive
2. cleaned up my msn contacts & removed alot of them
3. re-arranged my music folder from A-Z
4. cleaned out the ‘my documents’ folder and put things into folders
5. ran spyware, virus and adware programs to make sure everything with nice & clean

Then the fun began:

I’ve been wanting to install Vista for a while, but heard alot of negative things about it and got told to wait til SP1 is released, but I did like the entire look of Vista, so I found a Vista Transformation Pack for XP which basically turns your XP into a Vista GUI look-a-like and it looks hawt, plus added a new desktop background and a theme for MSN Live Messenger.

I’m loving it

The sony laptop history is quite colorful. Before the hp laptops, the ones to make use of wifi technology were the sony laptops. Another added benefit is that of notebook computer batteries of sony that don’t die easily. This is why students prefer waiting for a laptops sale to get their hands on a used sony notebook instead of buying a bran new hp one.
