The Evolution of the Web

I was reading a blog post on Google's Official Blog about Chrome's 3rd birthday (Happy third birthday, Chrome!), when I was struck by one of the most useful infographics of all time: The Evolution of the Web.

I had no idea that HTML 4.0 had been around for two years when I first heard about it in the fall of 1998!

Specifying the Downloads Folder in IE 9

I recently downloaded IE 9 at work because my IE 8 version kept conflicting when accessing my work Facebook account.

However, I really became annoyed when my downloads began to dissappear. I realized I hadn't specified where downloads should be saved. The process to change which folder your downloads save to, is quite easy.

There is an instruction walk-through on this page, but their screen print doesn't match where the "options" button appears--in my version of IE, the options button appeared on the bottom left corner of the pop up window.

Now it's much easier for me to access my downloads, without wasting precious time. Easy peasy! That's how we like it.

FireFox Easter Egg

There's a neat easter egg in FireFox: where you get a page telling you all about how nice robots can be. All you have to do is enter in the address bar/locator bar: about:robots and this pops up:

But the best part is when you start clicking the button. I love a robot w/ a good sense of humor ^_^
