In summary: Opera but have been considering changing.It opens google, which I think is one of the websites that loads the fastest. Usually when I open the browser I instantly open a few tabs with my bookmarks.Chrome is ok, but there are some things that don't work (most video, such as youtube). But it's fast enough for me.I use google/yahoo, but recently have been playing around with Microsoft's bing. It runs fast, and it's nice and flashy.I also see delays in the chrome response. It load the page different way so you see a blank page for like few micro-seconds to seconds which is bit annoying. During that time, you don't

Google.

What else is there? lol

Actually originally I put Google as my homepage because of the computer I used to have. It would take 5 mins to load the homepage if I had it set for Yahoo! or CNN or something of that sort because my computer was terrible. And keeping it as my homepage just worked for me. I frequently search useless information enough that it's easiest lol Although maybe in that case I should make it Wikipedia... Hmmmmm..

JavaScript
JavaScript Reference
not working.

I don't see jQuery? :biggrin:

I noticed that you encounter some problem, you search the solution and you bookmark the link. I maintain a private blog for those things. I have like 400 bookmarks and naming - categorizing each would take too much time.

Yeah. Some links have surely rotted by now. I haven't needed some of those JavaScript links recently. I should clean them up.


BTW, it's completely editable. One click and I can add, edit, delete or move any item.

And I wrote the whole thing myself from scratch. :approve: In PHP no less. I have long considered rewriting it in .NET but it has worked so well for so many years, I've never had any reason to modify it, let alone redo it.

I snooped around your website. Man, those are some nice graphics you made. Are you a drafter/graphic artist by trade, or is it a hobby?

I pull mine from http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/astropix.html" whenever they have something good (and the right screen ratio). Right now it's the Orion Nebula.

Thanks! I've been an artist all my life. Come by it honestly. My father is a watercolourist, his brother is a commerical artist and my sister did the illo art for Stephen J. Gould's http://books.google.com/books?id=Sj...=Oqq_So2FE6XEzgSewfjIDw#v=onepage&q=&f=false" I had was a family affair with the four of us,

I've been a software/web designer/developer for 15 years. I've never really had the conviction to 'art'ify professionally - a combination of the pressure and the fear that it will become a chore. This is much to the extreme chagrin of just about everyone I know.

What I really want to do is http://www.davesbrain.ca/art/science_illos/index.html" (most of these are actually for PF).

My current project is a survey of my friend's 70'x20' backyard G-scale railway.
