When simplicity rules!

Another reason why I love Chrome (by Google) so much: the existence of Bookmark Manager – I can import/export my bookmarks effortlessly!

Earlier, I actually Googled for “Chrome bookmarks location” and got into a jungle of confusion. Seriously, why would you want to look for the location if you really cannot locate it? The bookmarks on Chrome are actually almost non-existent on your hard drive. Seriously.

The people at Google has made our lives easier by giving us Chrome, so use it!

You either do a Ctrl+Shift+B (go to 2. right after) or if you really don’t know what those addition is about, follow these steps:

1. Click on the wrench-icon on your Chrome (this icon is on the top right corner, just sitting below the X where you close your Chrome off)
2. The Bookmark Manager window will pop-up
3. Click on the Tools and choose Export Bookmarks (or Import Bookmarks, which ever suits you heh)

You should be able to achieve whatever you wish to achieve when you did the search to “Chrome bookmark location” earlier. Because, I did!

Don’t make your life harder, it is meant to be simple. SRSLY!

Weekend geek-away

December 5, 2008 zee Leave a comment

With the excitement of the latest WordPress version, the almost-new Gmail themes and Google Chrome, I got a little disappointed with Hotmail. Hmmm should I say, irritated instead? Even Facebook works better now with it’s latest look. Hotmail, ermm, Microsoft, c’mon, you guys can do better, no? 

I keep telling myself I can change the view of emails-per-page to as much as I want instead of just the current twenty-pathetic-five view at a time. But again and again I cannot find the option anywhere. I get irritated that the page navigation is not as swift as Gmail. Perhaps, I should just quit Hotmail altogether. 

Ok, enough on geek-talk for the day. 

Believe me that I am excited about celebrating my first Raya Korban (Hari Raya Haji/Aidiladha) in Kajang. I have previously thought that I would feel emotional when I see the sacrifice being done. But I am way excited about having to capture the moments that I think I should put away the emotions. All animals go to Heaven ultimately. I am gearing myself up for a good long weekend in Kajang/Putrajaya/KL and a memorable Raya in the suburbs!

We’re leaving early tomorrow morning (lepas subuh, dengan telekung aku keluar rumah!) and Sunday will be KL with the plan to meet loved friends instead. An early SMS this morning, “Subway halal awaits!” was enough to make me salivate. Will be back in SG by Tuesday evening. We’ll be taking the (6-hour) KTM ride home, just the two of us; own time own target. Can’t wait. 

*Reminder to self: Travel Scrabble!*
