Chromium daily builds on OSX

January 4, 2010

For anyone who's using Google Chrome on OSX, it's worth checking out the daily builds of Chromium. Be warned, these are daily developer builds but it seems pretty stable so far and is a lot more polished than the 'beta' that is available. 

There is a little utility you can download that will keep it up to date, and you can keep Chrome installed beside it just in case.  One of the nice features of the daily builds is that extensions are enabled, so you can do handy things like adding a Google Wave notifier into the location bar!

There is an article on TechCrunch that goes into some of the other differences, it's worth a quick read.

Outdoor Vanisle

December 22, 2009

This weekend I setup a new site, Outdoor Vanisle, as a place for the outdoor community on vancouver island to group and communicate. There are message forums and will eventually be places for people to post photos, trip reports, and a more organized resources section for the various activities and sports on the island. 

Hopefully this will become a useful resource for islanders to share information, find people to do trips with, and communicate with other like minded people!

Trip Photos

December 13, 2009

Since I take my camera pretty much anywhere I can, I've got a lot of pictures of various trips and adventures in the last few years. I do have lots of pictures from before 2007, but they are on film and I'm not feeling up to the task of swimming through the mountain of negatives quite yet. 

I've gone through a bunch of my digitals though, and tried to come up with a small sampling of photos from some of these trips. Perhaps one day I'll take it further, but for now I've put these mini galleries up on a new page on this site. For those interested, head on over and checkout the trips page.

This should start to grow as I either dig through more old pictures, or more likely just add new ones from future trips and adventures - expect to see some nice backcountry ski/board stuff coming this winter!
