Google recently announced a Chrome Beta for Android, and while having everything tied to my Google Account and having a lot of issues with Firefox on Android (Sync being slow, webpage rendering being bloated, long pauses to load pages), I figured that Chrome could be an improvement. I haven't really put it entirely through its paces yet, but I am already really enjoying how snappy and fast it is.
As such, since Chrome also syncs up from Desktop to Mobile, I decided to switch over to Chrome on the Desktop as well, so that I could look at the links on my Desktop when I'm on-the-go, and maybe clear out some links. It'll take me a little while to get used to its interface and differences from Firefox, but I have a feeling it'll not take me much more than a few days.
I also got Evernote, which allows me to write things on the 'phone and it'll show up on my Desktop. I am liking this connectivity. :D
My laptop has still not been replaced, but at least Firefox Sync let me retrieve the links that I had open at the time. Here's a couple that I've been meaning to talk about.
- Wasabi Sunshine's "31 Days of Zero Suit Samus" was pretty awesome. I have kept this tab open with the prospective thought of eventually purchasing this image. Or maybe this one as a reminder to tell me to relax more. (But I want more rainy days for exactly that purpose.)
- I have been wanting to play Neuromancer on a C64 emulator. I have a couple of good emulators on the phone (!!) but I really want to spend a day and just play it like I was back in my younger days, had nothing else to do, just sitting at the keyboard and walking about a strange computer-generated world.
- I should probably watch the Fanboy Confessional episodes as well, before they get taken off the site!
- It was 24-Hour-Comic-Day a little while ago, and I believe
ravenworks retweeted this one: Darkness. It's awesome :D He also linked to the Caketurtle. I kinda want to make one of those cakes now.
- I haven't played any of the Doctor Who: Worlds in Time game much recently. It was in Beta, after all... there was actually other friends playing it, but there was no way to connect us together yet! I have enough games, actually... just picked up Catherine despite not buying other games...
Ack, gotta get to bed! Japanese class in the morning, work for the afternoon, Game Night in the evening... :D
