Looking into Chrome

I am currently trying to setup a proper build environment for Google Chrome, so that I can test some crashes in more details.

It seems amazing that a brief line of Javascript code is able to completely freeze the Chrome process and all its threads, but I am guessing it is a synchronization issue when talking with the Win32 API.

More details should come about if I finally get Chrome building locally, otherwise I’ll consider just posting some reproducible test cases and let somebody else look into exploiting it.

It’s part of the screen update process and also freezes the Sandbox broker process, so with some luck this should be running outside the Chrome sandbox :)

Community Day 10 in Copenhagen

Community Day is back again this year in Copenhagen.

If you like free tech-talks, networking and beer then reserve May 27 for Community Day ‘10.

There will be some 20 sessions on four concurrent tracks, with 45 minutes of presentation time and 30 minutes for Q&A.

Most of the session titles are already set, ranging from HTML5 to Firefox plugin development and Ruby on Rails, and the agenda will be updated soon with speaker names and details.

Casper Fabricius, an old colleague and friend, will be giving his talk called “Replace ASP.NET with IronRuby on Rails”.

I will also be giving two talks at CD10, “Hacking a website” and “Advanced jQuery”.

Sign up for Community Day ‘10 (it’s free!) and get ready for a day of geekery, networking and free beer :)
