warrenshea.com, warrenshea, and Google Chrome

I’ve decided to start trying to use Google Chrome a bit more, give it a chance as my default browser over FireFox.

There are quite a few interesting things (PROs)
1. typing words into the address bar performs a Google Search is one of them…that’s friggin awesome.
2. the UI is smaller, about 1/2 in size.
3. it’s faster
4. it’s seems to Crash less. Firefox has been crashing, for no reason, lately. It’s annoying!

CONs
1. No FireFTP, FireFox Developer Toolbar…need to find equivalents or something

Also, my site currently doesn’t render so well in Chrome. I have to do some debugging….which I’m doing right now!

I just learned about CSS Hacks for IE8 and Chrome. I knew them for IE and IE6…

#footer-container {
_margin-top:-214px; /* for IE6 */
*+margin-top:-214px; /* for IE7 */
margin-top:-212px\0/; /* for IE8 */
}
body:nth-of-type(1) #footer-container { /* for Chrome */
margin-top: 0px;
}

Damn….on my list of things to learn:
CSS3
HTML5
jQuery
ASP.NET 4.0

It’s difficult staying current, especially staying current on so many languages/techniques. Like I told my co-worker, being a jack of all trades does not work as a professional. You have to pick 1 or 2 things and devote yourself to that…now…what do I devote myself to? I don’t know….

I like being a jack of all trades :'(
