Of course, Safari still can't handle everything (e.g., Adblock Plus is still not so good on Safari, YouTubeCenter lags behind and I don't bother to compile myself — yes, I have a certificate, and some power user features simply don't exist), so I'm still going to Opera/Opera beta/Chrome/Firefox for certain tasks. But Safari is very nice. For the first time.</p> +<p>I started out as a Chrome user (well, don't want to recall the IE days), branched out to the Chromium Opera, and now ended up in Safari. Not sure about the future. When I look back, something nostalgic pops up in mind — <a href="http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/">the Google Chrome Comic</a>. I enjoyed it more than once, but I never seemed to have archived it. So here it is, combined into <a href="https://dl.bintray.com/zmwangx/generic/2008-chrome-comic.pdf">one PDF</a>. In fact, you can create the PDF yourself:</p> +<pre><code>seq 0 39 | parallel wget -q http://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/images/big/{}.jpg +convert $(ls -v *.jpg) 2008-chrome-comic.pdf</code></pre> +<p>Here I was a bit lazy and used a GNU <code>ls</code> feature: <code>-v</code> for natural sorting of numbers (doesn't work for BSD <code>ls</code>).</p> +<p>And here's page 1 of the comic as a teaser:</p> +<div class="figure"> +<a href="https://i.imgur.com/W5pJTjl.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Google Chrome — Behind the Open Source Browser Project" src="https://i.imgur.com/W5pJTjl.jpg"/></a> +<p class="caption">Google Chrome — Behind the Open Source Browser Project</p> +</div> +</article> +<hr class="content-separator"/> +<footer class="footer"> +<span class="rfooter"> +<a class="rss-icon" href="/rss.xml" target="_blank" title="RSS feed"><!--RSS feed icon--></a><a class="atom-icon" href="/atom.xml" target="_blank" title="Atom feed"><!--Atom feed icon--></a><a class="cc-icon" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank" title="Released under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license."><!--CC icon--></a> +<a href="https://github.com/zmwangx" target="_blank">Zhiming Wang</a> +</span> +</footer> +</body> +</html> |
