Chrome in 2.5D Clip

  • english

An interesting short clip about Google Chrome. I like how this lively short clip features perfect mix of colors and blends 2D+3D to showcase Chrome’s features. The first screen (gray interface with progress bar) reminds me of Mac OS 7′s classic interface. Very old school indeed.

Remember my previous blog post about my new web hosting service? I’m migrating to a new hosting service because the one that I had earlier was substandard. Well, knowing its extremely affordable annual price plan, I should have been mindful of its inferiority. It was a good lesson to learn though…

Behind the name ChrisPra.com
Cutting the story short, I migrated to a new web hosting service and it offered free domain name. There I went to grab chrispra.com as a shorter way to reach chrisprasojo.com
This thought arise when I realize my new friends called my Chris Prasago, Chris Prosaja, Chris Prasajo, and a series of anagrammatized Prasojo.
Believe me, no matter how you look at it, ChrisPra.com is just better.

Both .com name link to this blog at this moment. I’ll use ChrisPra.com for portfolio and other general stuff and use ChrisPrasojo.com for blog (Hello there my friends!).

Fresher wooden layout
As you can see here, my blog sports a new layout which looks similar to my previous layout. Yup, you get it right… I keep the dark wooden wall from my previous blog and photoshopped it a little further to darken the surface and its edges.

This theme isn’t built from scratch, but rather, built on a free WordPress theme with major tweaks which is heavily adapted to my taste.

Dark. Earthy. Woody.
There goes the name of this theme: Kayuku, which literally means “My Wood”.

Do you see what I don’t?
I personally pick a series of font type that comes default in Mac but not in Windows with a reason. Um… Do you think I’m a Mac fanboy who’s trying to widen the gap between Mac and Windows users? Mocking “I’m a Mac, You’re a PC. Haha!” phrase? Nope.

It’s my intention to educate and spread good stuff to everyone, like you, regardless of what kind of computer you’re using. Take a look at the screenshot below (click to enlarge) and compare how this blog suppose to be and how it looks on your screen.

See the difference? Good.
I’m planning to publish a new page for readers to download good stuff. The first thing in that download page is likely to be a set of font types you can install to your computer. Go grab it when it’s available so you can see prettier websites.

I shall get back to work now and clear my piled-up tasks. Thanks for dropping by! Do let me know if there’s any issue on the layout, plugin, RSS feed, or in any other area. Have a good day!

We don’t need happy endings. What’s the point of a happy ending when we don’t believe in happiness?

Gmail Theme

I was checking my gmail this morning and surprised to see this:

Gmail has new theme!

The yellow notification says, “New! Colors and theme. Don’t forget to check out Theme tab in setting to personalize…” Clicking the Theme tab link brought me to this new setting where a dozen of themes–mostly pretty and lickable!–can be applied to my Gmail. Click these screenshots to see its full size

And here’s the new look of my Gmail:

New look :)

This new feature is being rolled out in the next few days. You’ll get your soon! ;) Check out the official blog post at Gmail Blog to see more samples of pretty themes!

Gmail is definitely my favorite web mail, sky-rocketted way above Y!Mail and (of course) Hotmail.
