Download Google Chrome 1.0 Offline Installer
Google Chrome 1.0 (oh it just came out of Beta) is as promising as any other Google product. Want to install it? Just go the the Google Chrome Home Page and if a relase is available for the platform you are running then a button "Download Google Chrome" button will appear. Click it and and after accepting terms and conditions stated in EULA a 476kb file will start downloading a 476kb sized installer.
However this executable is not a standalone installer and requires you to be online while installation is carried out so that it can download the actual installer. Ever wished that you could have got that actual installer so that you didn't require to download each time you install Google Chrome on different machines?
Here is the link for Full Google Chrome 1.0 Installer.
For downloading for Platforms other than WinXP/Vista you will require to go the Google way to install the browser using download page at http://google.com/chrome
Google Chrome Beta No More
Did the title sound weird? Yes it should, if you thought Google has ended the it's Chrome product. It's just that it is now Google Chrome 1.0 removing the Beta label.
Just a few days back someone asked me if a stable release of Google Chrome (i.e. not a Beta) is available? I smilingly replied "Google has it's products in Beta for at least an year or two, adding more and more features until the product turns out into a master-piece. Since, Google Chrome just unveiled on Sept 3, it's far from getting it's beta status removed."
Today, I was shocked to read at Google Operating System (Unofficial News Blog) that Google Chrome 1.0 Released... Was it a joke? Not really! I followed to Official Google Blog that said the same thing.
I think that Google Chrome is the first Google Product to get out of Beta in just 15 releases. Isn't it? Why? Because the Sky is High! and to reach to the top in the Browser Market this product needs to be bundled with systems sold by major companies who shy away due to Google Chrome being in Beta, as explained by TechCrunch.
What does this mean to us? Well to users with Operating System Configurations lower than WinXP with SP2, "nothing" as they still have to live without Chrome. To users already using Chrome it would be the same product in new wrapper (and minor fixes), and to web developers out there who need to maintain cross-browsers compatibility in their work (assuming they care for stable non-beta products only), an additional browser to fight with.
By the way, the Google Chrome Home Page at http://google.com/chrome still show an image showing "Google Chrome Beta" logo... Seems that they were too busy in the release to change the image.
2 Years, 1 500 000 pageviews & counting…
Today, 12th Dec, marks the 2nd Anniversary of this Blog.
Content wise this year was rather slow with less than 75 new posts, but the viewership this year was most successful with as high as 8220 pageviews is a single day. This year I felt that am getting less time to sit and write, with many posts getting buried deep in drafts just for the reason that though the text was ready, the screenshots were not. Needless to say those were the technical posts. It was then that I realized that I need to leave the 'My Technical Blog' commitment and come up with some miscellaneous ramblings too to keep myself active on the blog.
What's new on this anniversary day? Well not much! Just that I am back with a new enthusiasm, and two new links on the sidebar to separate Technical Posts from Miscellaneous ones. To achieve the separation I tagged all posts either with TechPosts or with MiscPosts. Thanks to the 'Quick Edit' feature in the New Wordpress Dashboard I was able to do this in very less time. And a large number of earliest posts (all were mostly technical) were tagged many at a time using the new 'Bulk Edit' feature.
Which posts were people reading most in these years? Here are they ordered by number of pageviews (highest on top)

Two posts that were the top viewed ones when I reviewed the Year One now surprisingly stand on 10th and 28th position respectively. Though only 7 posts from above are from year 2, the pageviews for these 7 pages, combined, far exceed those of others combined.
Any suggestions for what to add on this blog in future are most welcome. Thanks for your time reading this post.
