It is too good to be true! One box to do it all! Google Chrome browser Auto Search, URL and suggestion as well as having all your favourites in hand! And so this box does do it all and does more!
If you have not turned the auto suggest off(on by default), then whatever you type in the box, will be saved into the Google's server, likely along with the ip address of your machine!
This means if you are searching for asset, the search engine omnibox, may save your ip address along with the word ass if you decide not to bother with typing asset and stop half way through to start type something else!
Site http://www.citywestwater.com.au/calculator/ has used Google Chart APIs to show the result of the calculation, made by answering a series of questions regarding the amount of water used in a household, to display the result by a pie chart.
Have a look and calculate your water usage! There will be tips produced at the end to help you save water too.
2008 was the year of many technical learnings for me and what made it possible?
1. Google Search Engine
2. Good browsers like FireFox and Google Chrome
3. Gmail that made it possible for me to keep in touch online and read so many rich electronic newsletters such as Computer Weekly, Oracle Magazine and SitePoint
4. YouTube which made it possible to watch seminars, trainings, talks and interviews and travel the world from your desktop
5. Google Earth.. this one is fantastic combined with Google Sky
6. Google Analytics, which allowed me to measure traffic trends and visitor details such as browsers used, or keywords search to reach my sites
7. Alexa, which gave me three monthly trends to my web sites traffics
8. Adobe, with its Dreamweaver and Photoshop CS3
9. Windows Live
10. And finally my recent start on Twitter!
Recently I had a problem with Dreamweaver CS3 crashing whenever I wanted to open a form. Delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat, MacFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat, or FileCache.dat file from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder. It is recommended to delete the FileCache.dat file if you are experiencing a JavaScript error related to "dwscripts" or if you are receiving a "translators were not loaded" error message. The string of characters after "FileCache-" may differ on your machine. The location of the FileCache.dat file depends your operating system and your version of Dreamweaver. Note that on Windows, the Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View Hidden Folders.
Googling this, I found out that the problem is created by a corrupt cache file. Deleting this file removed the issue and I now can open and amend my forms without crashing.
There is a very good knowledge base page on Adobe website for troubleshooting all sorts of issues. Click here to see this url.
Section 4 of this file was what I found to be the solution to my troubles. Here is the section entirely copied from the above knowledge base link in Adobe's website."4. Delete FileCache.dat files from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder.

2009 started for me with experiencing of taking photos from our flat screen TV. I tried to take pictures realistic enough to convince the viewer that they have been taken live at the place.
I used the Aquarium setting of my Canon Powershot G9 to take the above photo.
