Chrome

Ok a little geek blog time.

 Been running Chrome for about 2 weeks now.  I have really grown to enjoy it.   Firefox may have been replaced by it as my new favorite browser.   Both of then kick IE butt.  Chrome  has started using extensions like Firefox  and that has put it over the top for me.  I now can check Facebook , my blog, and all my emails form Chrome like I did with Firefox and the bookmarks are on the right hand side of the browser making them easy to reach.   I also like how it works with with Win7.    The window will split if I have AIM and Chrome  open at the same time.  This makes is easier to chat and surf the web at the same time.

Not much of a blog tonight but Hay.

Quick Post

Good weekend was had by all.  Gman played basketball, Beth got a new coat. E got to see Grandma and Papa.  I got my computer deck cleaned off and the hutch that was falling down removed.  

I have found there are no good storage devices for computer games.  The cd/dvd case holders are to small for most computer games cases.  This is because most games come in a double case for the cd and a book.  The book has on it the activation code for the game and you really need to keep it together with the games itself.  This makes it hard to use one of the cd cases that does not have room for the books.  I really do not have the design ability to come up with something but I would think this would be an item people could use and buy.   Not to mention and good tool box for a computer geek.  Something to organize all the cables, boot disc, screws,  boards, memory etc.  I have seen a few good small cases mainly for tools but not a great organizer that has room for a GPU, power cable, a couple of different USB cords, and say a boot disc/key.  Again good idea but I have no talent on how to design or build.  

Well hope everyone has a good week.  Got to help E with homework.  Yes homework in KinderGarden I do not remember this from school
