My Dear Larry page: a pathetic attempt to get a Cr48 w/CSS3

Viewing source gives this tidbit:

           <!-- PS - 
            I work at SLAC in a group called Scientific Computing Applications.  Our goal is to 
            use GWT as much as possible to support as many experiments as possible in many ways,
            leveraging HTML5 and AJAX/RPCs to meet these goals.
            
            In addition, while I dearly love GWT in it's native Java form, I'd like to confess
            a greater love for Pyjamas.  It'd be absolutely wonderful if Pyjamas had some of the
            more advanced features of GWT, especially in regards to Javascript optimization.
            Just sayin...

Larry Page once posted on Slashdot. See http://slashdot.org/~larrypage

Wow, that thread is, in of itself, a fascinating time capsule.

"How long before the google engine only becomes accessible through some overburdened overbranded 'portal' site?"

This made me smile in particular (a perfect sum up of the fears I had back then as well). Glad to see it never really happened.

You know you can just apply for one right? http://www.google.com/chromeos/pilot-program.html

I suspect he's one of the many who have applied without receiving one. Not all who applied have been so lucky.

yeah, I figured my time had passed and then I saw on Engadget that somebody recently one. I was already playing around with the CSS for this just for fun, so I decided what the hell. It probably looks horrible on IE, and not as nice on firefox<4.

Any Google employees here, can you ask about how Larry, Sergey, and Eric respond to email? I wished Larry and Sergey had a public Buzz or Twitter account.

Hell, why not? I wouldn't be surprised if a Cr-48 found its way to you.

while not really necessary here, the author reminded me of the bare protocol (href=//foo.com) trick to prevent http/s mismatches of page assets.
