This weekend, a cast and crew of thousands put on a little show that spanned three (four? five?) continents and covered every timezone on the planet. I’m talking, of course, about Mozilla24. I managed to tune in for the US show which took place at Stanford University and included talks by Lawrence Lessig, Zak Greant, [...]
I’m still recovering from time-change differences and inbox overload after a week in Portland attending OSCON2007. It was a good time, great seeing friends and colleagues outside of the usual “all-hands” events and I managed to sneak into a few interesting talks as well. I brought along my camera; click the Free Beer for pics!
Looks like the cause of the slow-downs is due to some bad memory. We have a ticket filed to get it looked at ASAP. Until then, expect the occasional outage. I’m currently having a hard time restarting the buildbot slave, so please bear with me.
Mornings in Eastern Standard Time are quiet times around Mozilla, usually. So I took this as an opportunity to reboot qm-win2k3-01, everyone’s favorite lovable robot character. There were a bunch of stuck processes on the machine when I logged into it. This is not uncommon, although killing them this morning seemed to be slower than [...]
With the year wrapping-up, and the releases set on simmer, I’m going to be taking the next week off for some necessary R+R. And maybe a little R on the side. I haven’t been entirely bloggy this past eighth of a year, but as a peace-offering, I present to you, some mostly-amateurish photos of some [...]
This was a fun, albeit hectic week for me. I was in Toronto last week during the symposium until this Wednesday when I spoke to a class at Seneca about testing software at Mozilla. I covered some of our functional testing procedures using Litmus and Bugzilla, then moved on to talk a bit about unit [...]
Mike Shaver, “You should be giving this keynote”. Big things from Small steps. Mike opened the festivities with his 9am keynote, impressing the packed auditorium with his experiences and insights on open source software development. Some of the key points were, big things from small steps, and finding your “X-Factor”. I hope to one day [...]
Firefox 2.0 has (officially) left the building. Go get some! It’s tasty. In other, less interesting news, I’ll be in Toronto for the remainder of this week for the FSOSS – Free Software & Open Source Symposium at Seneca. I’m looking forward to seeing my friends and colleagues there and meeting some of the excellent [...]
I have been remiss in my blogging duties of late. I blame an ongoing love/hate relationship with some l10n test scripting for the upcoming, and stellar Firefox 2.0. Linkblogs are bad. I know. But I feel the need to post something even if it isn’t my own spectacular content. So, I’m going to do what [...]
