I tried the new version of Chrome yesterday (see review<\/a>). The Japanese font still looked crappy. However, I found out that if you change Chrome to the Japanese version<\/a>, it magically fixes itself. <\/p>\n

Chrome English version (Win XP):
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chrome Japanese version (Exact same machine):
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m now considering switching to Chrome with this discovery. It’s much faster than Firefox and the themes look nicer than Firefox personas because it’s not scattered across all the UI elements. Still, with web development, you’ll have to pry Firebug from my cold dead fingers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, the images in this post were cropped and re-sized using the new image editing tool built in WordPress 2.9. It works but it’s still kind of buggy. For some reason, it won’t let me crop to a really small size. Also, you can’t crop it more than once without saving it first otherwise it crops a completely different area.<\/p>\n

Speaking of CMS, I tried Drupal 7 on a demo site<\/a>. It looks completely revamped. My biggest gripe<\/a> looks fixed finally. You can actually navigate away from the page or lose your wireless connection and come back to the page without it going of of its way to erase all your content. Wow, that’s a low bar to clear. The book module navigation doesn’t look any better though. <sarcasm>Nobody write books online anyway, right?<\/sarcasm> Looking forward to what’s looking to be a painful upgrade process once it comes out.<\/p>\n

So there you have it, my random tech news update. Nobody cares anyway, right? Apple’s releasing new shit today<\/a>! If you ask me, an iPod touch with a bigger screen is lame, no matter what it does. It sucks that you have to hold it in one hand while using the other to interface with it. Your thumb will probably get in the way and your wrist won’t last for very long. In any case, I’m not keen on reverting to one-hand typing on a device that doesn’t even fit in my pocket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
