My friends over at Techcrunch released a Chromium updater for OS X today (disclosure, I guess, I currently admin the Techcrunch sites). I’ve been using Chromium on Linux for a while and am starting to really like it. It just so happens I have a shell script that sort of does the same thing. Namely, figures out what the newest build is, cleans out my current build, and replaces it with the new one. Chromium isn’t as polished by a long shot on Linux as it is on OS X, but it’s still cool to play with.
Anyway, if you want the script, here it is: get_chromium.
You’ll need to set executable permissions on it of course. It will download the newest release, and unzip it into your home directory. You can run it from a shell as follows:
chl@melian:~$ ~/chrome-linux/chrome --enable-plugins
This works for Ubuntu Jaunty, 32bit. Haven’t tried it out elsewhere.
2 CommentsIn an ongoing effort to stay abreast of the things that the cool kids are all doing, I’ve upgraded some of the system software on this blog. Specifically, I’m now running PHP 5.3.0 and Nginx 0.8.8, just because. I have no idea what this is going to do. But, I’m curious to see if anything interesting breaks.

Update: Found a very easy fix!
So some of you may know that I’m a big, big fan of VirtualBox. I’ve found it to be intuitive, very functional, and it really lets me get the most out of my MacBook. I have five operating systems on it currently (two Linux, one BSD, OpenSolaris and Windows XP) and it’s been one of my favorite apps for a while now.
