FundRace 2004

This is fun
Yea, it really is. It’s public info, completely legal, and great. Go ahead, search around, and enjoy your legally issued right to do so. As an American you should be informed about who is financing who. Says a lot. Look at maps too.
And pass that on. Sooner [...]

Mozilla.org News

Some noteworthy mentions in Staff Meeting Summaries:

Thunderbird
- bienvenu might be free to do more feature work

Yea! Hmm… well I know David would be very upset if his todo list isn’t nice and long. Oh so many neat things. Let me make a list of my Thunderbird 1.0 wishes:

System Tray [Bug 208923]
MAPI support [...]

Project Aquarius

Heavy coding taking place in a new project. Well it isn’t new, it’s actually a little short of being a year old, but I never actually did it. I just brainstormed and drafted. The other day, I stumbled upon my notes, and liked the idea enough to give it a shot. [...]

Term Paper Suckage

Yea, term papers definitely suck. Especially when your writing it over spring break, especially when you look outside and see snow on the ground.
Anyway, I decided for an environmental biology paper to write about Technology Recycling. Geeky, but still covers the class quite a bit. Perhaps I’ll publish to the blog at [...]

Mozilla Licensing ”Crack down”

I think it’s important to take a moment and address the recent reports of a “crack down” on Merchandise sellers using Mozilla trademarks.
Once upon a time (earlier today), Gerv Markham posted an Open Letter copied below for you to read as well.
First off. As most who read this website know my only affiliations with [...]

Bug 117532 RIP

Bug 117532. It’s been one long journey, but it’s finally over. And just in time, as 1.7b is extremely close. That was a lot for a UI pref, but at least the wording is good. It’s worth it for good wordage.
Bug 235086 is also wrapping up tonight.
So I wasn’t totally useless [...]

News Headline System Approaching Beta Tests

I wrote a brand new news headline for MacVillage.net. It’s also RSS based, like the current incarnation, but much more efficient. It will also support more feeds. Thanks to using PHP’s XML capabilities, it processes a feed in half the time of the last version. And because it now cashe’s, and [...]

2 computer problems in 1 day

2 out of 4 computers had problems today. Yea! Home computing is fun!!!
One was a relatively quick fix. Simple disk scan ended up fixing the permissions error, or whatever was wrong with it. The other (Bender, the file server), wasn’t so easy. Something ravished permissions on the System [...]

I’m running Fedora Core 2

Well, I finally did it. I burnt Fedora Core 2 Install CD’s, and put it on my 2nd HD of my Thinkpad. Had trouble booting at first, but found a hidden option in my BIOS to select the drive as my boot drive. It’s zippy! Very, very, very fast. My [...]

Porn Illegal

Can you believe this? Porn illegal behind the wheel? How could they? Why can’t an adult enjoy a steamy adult video while driving cross country?
Canadian Pork may not be kosher to all faiths Yikes!.
And that sums up todays creepy headlines.
