Closure

Nov

2009

Today we finally announced and released Closure (or Closure Library as the JS library is officially known as). History Me and Dan Pupius started the JS library at Google a long time ago. At the time there was a lot of good JS code at Google but there was really no order to it and ...

Offline Gmail

Feb

2009

Last week we launched Offline Gmail. After releasing Gears I moved to the Gmail team to work on Offline Gmail. I think it was pretty obvious that we were working on this and Offline Gmail was the first and possibly the hardest task we wanted to be able to solve with Gears. A lot of ...

2008

I guess you all have downloaded Chrome already. If not, what are you waiting for? I’d like to congratulate my friends who have been working so hard on this. Congratulations Glen and Ojan. Also, I’d like to add that Chrome is totally awesome, and I’m not saying that because I work at Google. I’m saying ...

One of the wow features of Reader that I’ve been waiting for for a while is now out. I can now easily see what other people have shared. Let the sharing begin!

JScript 5.7

Dec

2007

[Revised to not sound as nagging as I always sound] The JScript 5.7 patch is now being pushed to an IE6 computer near you… IE6 uses Jscript 5.6 which has some design flaws when it comes to garbage collection. This is just a small issue for small applications but it is a large issue for ...

Gmail and WebKit. Feel the speed!

Nov

2007

If you haven’t tried the new Gmail with a recent nightly WebKit (you need build 523 or later due to one blocking bug in earlier builds) I dare you to try it. With nightly WebKits it takes about 200ms to go from the Inbox to a thread. Anything that takes less than 300ms is perceived ...

More Gears

2007

It has been pretty hard not being able to tell people what I work on. Most of the time that I didn’t say “no comment” I said I was working on the Firefox team here at Google and sometimes I said Gmail. None of these are true as you now know. What I’ve been working ...

We finally got our act together and squashed some long standing bugs. This is the first bug fix release since we initially release ExCanvas over a year ago. Support for sub pixel rendering Crop content if painting outside the canvas initElement now returns a reference to the fixed element Fixes to arc Printing support Implement ...

The new Reader is so Good

Sep

2006

I guess most of you tried out Google Reader when it launched about a year ago and I don’t think a lot people tried it twice. I’ve been using it for the last year (no more Sage for me) but it had some serious drawbacks. The new Google Reader on the other hand is just ...

Going to Ajax Experience

I’ll be standing in the Google booth at the Ajax Experience conference on Friday afternoon. I guess it is time for me to figure out what all this Ajax hype is all about.

6 Months at Google

Apr

2006

Maybe my little April fools joke was a bit too obvious. Me leaving Google for Microsoft? That would never happen. I don’t think anyone ever left Google for Microsoft and there is a reason why. Google is just awesome. At Google I got to work with the smartest people and they have all of the ...

ExplorerCanvas

2006

Over the last few months, me, Glen and Emil have been working on an open source version of canvas for Internet Explorer. The implementation uses VML and IE style filters (for image rotation, rgba and globalAlpha). It implements most of the specification but some areas are a not implemented (for example composite drawing, patterns, radial ...

With the start of October I’ll be working at Google. It has been a long process over last couple of months and I have been looking forward to starting since the first email. Google has hired a lot of really bright people lately and getting a chance to work with some of them is very ...
