Google Chrome

September 2, 2008 English

disclaimer: as with everyone else’s post this post does not add a comma to what has already been said by the right people (Google staff). Instead it will focus on the unanswered questions.

What is the need for yet another browser ? It’s an open source browser, there are already several good open source browsers such as Firefox.

Great, it has several new features, but why weren’t they included to existing open-source projects ?

Google was a strong supporter of Mozilla Firefox, what happens now ?

If the browser is open source, where is the code ?
EDIT: Antonio gave the answer http://code.google.com/chromium/

PS: I’ve not installed Google Chrome, and do not really intend to in the near future. Not because I don’t want to, just because I don’t use windows

Well, what can I say…

Hope everyone likes it!

Websites as graphs

August 23, 2007 English

Today a friend sent me a link to an applet called Websites as Graphs.

Here’s what it does:

[dgomes.camelot.com.pt]

As most of you might already know, web pages are written in a graph structured markup language (HTML). Some complex (such as your’s truly blog), some quite simple (such as google website):

[google]

But what is it doing? What this applet does is plain simple: it generates a graph of the html structure of a given website using the basic HTML tags as nodes in the graph. In order to read the graph you should know that:

blue is for links (the A tag)
red is for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
green is for the DIV tag
violet is for images (the IMG tag)
yellow is for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
orange is for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
black is the HTML tag, the root node
gray is all other tags
