It is far too easy to accidentally rip the tab out of the browser when swapping tabs.

To reproduce:

1. Load up a whole load of tabs
2. Click on the tabs in an excited agitated state

After a few clicks you are almost certainly going to accidentally rip a tab out of the browser.

If you didn't try this...

Have two espressos and repeat step 2.

Maybe it is my fault because I drink too much espresso but frankly I think if you conducted a focus group session of your target market you'd find a lot of us like to Drink and Browse.  Dangerous I know!  But common.

I shudder to think how many other anxious shaking wrecks out there are accidentally ripping their Chrome browser to pieces because the tabs come off to easily.

Perhaps you could have a configurable amount of "stickiness" to the tabs?

p.s.  LOVE Chrome overall. Keep up the great work!

Warm (yet hyper-anxious) regards,

Ever since the rumours began that the good times are over and we should all prepare for a long hard winter of discontent I’ve taken to baking my own bread each day and fixing me some wholesome homemade sandwiches.

It has become something of a weekly tradition to fix an auxiliary sandwich for my dad who comes around on Wednesdays and we spend some time slowly chewing our sandwiches of ludicrous proportions and having a good old yarn.  Fibre and family: two things that many people forget to pencil into their busy schedules.  Not only am I keeping regular; I am saving money, enjoying a much better sandwich experience that Subways could provide, my waist is getting narrower and I'm spending more quality time with my Pa.

It is easy to see why I am rather enjoying this recession people keep talking about.

Anyway, I thought maybe I should share the secret of my abundant contentment and leanness.

Recipe

• 150 gm wholemeal flour
• 150 gm high grade white flour
• 1/4 C pumpkins seeds
• 1/4 C (either rolled oats / cracked wheat / whole spelt)
• 2 T wheat germ
• 2 T linseeds (whole)
• 1 T ground linseed - makes it nice brown colour
• 1 T (rounded is ok) milk powder
• 1 t (flat) salt
• Yeast - Either 1 1/2 teaspoons (exactly) if baking over 4 hours.  If leaving to bake over night (8+ hours) then reduce to 1 teaspoon
• 1 round ball of butter about the size of a walnut (one very round measuring tablespoon)
• 1 big round tablespoon of manuka honey
• 230 ml water

You can't really go wrong with the butter or the honey.

Serving suggestions

Fresh and steaming straight from the oven you should just wallop a layer of butter on and let it melt in.  The loaf is in the prime of its life right at this point to no point ruining it with condiments. (Real butter mind you; not margarine or soya-bean-curd-spread or any BS like that.  Full fat butter, from a cow)

Or with coffee in the morning smack down some blackberry jam.  Preferably organic and home made jam from a farmer's market with lots of seeds still resident.

At lunch time you want to break out the gourmet lunch fillings:  Ham off the bone + Gorgonzola + lettuce from your garden.  Use happy-ham though!  Don't put cage-grown ham in your mouth, you and the pig deserve better.

By day two this bread – devoid of the preservatives you find in bread at the supermarket – will be getting too stale for anything but toast or dunking into soup.

Real bread can stand on it's end.  ;)

When it comes to purchasing music do you buy an album just for that one good track?  How many of the tracks have to be great for you to decide to add it to your collection?

For me it is six.  Five is a tipping point, I really have to stop and think, and 4 is a definite no-go.  But if there are 6 good 'uns then it is straight in the shopping basket; or these days, one-click purchasing on iTunes.

And so it was that I decided to stump up the not-insignificant lump of ca$h to fly to San Francisco in November to this year's Business of Software conference.  How could I not when every single speaker is an "A-side" speaker?   There are a good dozen speakers and I'm looking forward to all of them.  If this conference was an album it would be Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.

A Sample of the A-sides Speakers 

I've been using FogBugz for 6+ years and have enjoyed reading Joel's online rants for much of that time - he's a little controversial, but so am I (in my own little way) - so it'll be interesting to finally put a voice to the words.

Don Norman's insights into design are brilliant and his books are sitting here next to me in my office where I flick through them regularly.

Kathy Sierra is another one of those personalities once so prevalent online that I've had coffee with her countless mornings (or at least with her blog articles :p).

But I think it is Jennifer Aaker's head I am most looking forward to getting inside of (Jennifer if you ever read this and think it's a bit stalker I do apologise). Psychology has always interested me greatly and of all the topics that will be covered over this conference I was least expecting to hear about emotions and psychological health, but now I am looking forward to it the most.

Yep it's going to be a very worthwhile trip indeed, not even consdiering the sight-seeing I'll take in afterwards!

This is something practically every web developer does on a daily basis, right?...

Search google for the cause of some rather peculiar HTML/CSS bahaviour that only afflicts Major-Browser version X

Today I was trying to work out why, when you nest 3 SPANs do they suddenly cease to be inline elements (suddenly they have line breaks before and after).

Finding the solution took me to http://www.xs4all.nl/~sbpoley/webmatters/cssbuttons.html

Which brings me to the moral of my story:

I can't believe I was just schooled by such a visually horrendous page.  Mind you, it is 3 years old .... wow!  

It's scary to imagine that page might still exist long after I cease to.

!! This is not a news flash !!

This is not a new development, just a proud beaming exclamation of excitement.

What am I excited about exactly? 

There's a massive global recession taking place; climate change has all-but been ignored this year so we're probably going to hell in a handbag; and it's totally hosing down with rain outside and I left my motorbike pants at home.

But despite all this I am excited because I live in a country full of talented online software producers.

You guys are awesome!
