Browser Wars.. Again….

Well some time back on my blog I have mentioned about the Browser Wars. And here is it again.

A happy moment when open source won over monopoly. I just happened to check it yesterday and was very surprised and happy to see the Fire Fox took the browser share more than that of all versions of IE put together. 

2009	IE7	IE6	IE8	Fx	Chrome	S	O
January	25.7%	18.5%	0.6%	45.5%	3.9%	3.0%	2.3%

This is from the w3schools. You can see the same info here http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp. 

Also Chrome also making good progress may take time to reach a considerable share and it is good for a starter.  Now IE totals to 44.8 where as Firefox is 45.5.

GIMP Rocks!!!

Long time since I changed the look of my web site. Was wondering over the weekend how to change it and then this idea struck. Simple design with a cartoon picture of mine. Sounded interesting. After searching all the pics found one which can fit. Actually there are very less of mine present so have to pick one of the existing. 

Now need to convert it to a black and white sketch. GIMP was the first one to be selected for editing but not sure how to do and also not comfortable with all the menus in it. So the google boss helped it out. Got a tutorial which does that and its pretty straight forward. Few steps and here it comes. Good and nice looking drawing of mine :) 

GIMP has too many options and not sure if some one is using all of them. But it is too good for a open source tool and of course I am not into the domain of image editing so can’t tell how good or bad it is but all I can say is it did the job and worked for me. 

Just created a wrapper and uploaded it to site.

Looks cool isn’t it? 

That’s why I say GIMP Rocks!!!!
