Baby’s first bugday… let the revolution begin

Ok, well it wasn’t the first, and I wasn’t there the entire time, but I was there for some of it.
And let the reformation begin:

[Robert] and I’ve got the same schedule every tuesday!
[Asa] Robert: if I can find someone to run another BugDay, maybe we can do two a week, one on tuesday [...]

IRC blocked

My school has been blocking port 6667 because of some virus, prohibiting me from getting on IRC for the past few months. Much to my dismay.
My question of the day:
Can you get me (legally) on IRC? Comments/Email Welcome.
I’ve been wanting to spend some more time on #mozilla. But this has been blocking [...]

Some fudging, but it’s valid

I’m not done yet, I still need to make some tweaks to the layout, and lots of backend work for the page:
http://home.macvillage.net/
Is HTML 4.01 Transitional Valid. That’s right. HTML 4. Decided XHTML is to much of a jump for now. Perhaps when I redo the templates in a few months [...]

Agenda for tomorrow

My continuing agenda:

Study for Exams (Legal Environments, Accounting) coming up
Write a case study analysis for Marketing
Rework how MacVillage.net handles RSS feeds, including support for a few more.
Fix the b@st@rd!zat!on of the homepage
More templating fun

Joy.

Prevent websites from removing right-clickability

Between being sick the other day, and studying for some serious tests next week, I’m reading and seeing things (and not other things). Disregard. For historical purposes only until further notice.
First let me say on a personal level, I’m very much in favor of bug 86193. But I’m not sure everyone will [...]

I’ve got a todo list longer than Microsoft’s Bug list

Tests, papers, programming, emails to send.
I’m swamped. If anyone wants some work to do, let me know
Back to work.

Why BitTorrent?
BitTorrent feeds are used on quite a few of the big downloads that people encounter (see below). BitTorrent is also designed to prevent abusers. [...]

Random Desktop Fun

Interesting question came today, and I thought I would hand code this one.
Want to display a random desktop on startup (Windows).
I decided on a Free, Open Source, simple, and HTML 4.01 Strict valid. It also has an option to reload on a defined interval, or just when loaded (boot time).
It’s [...]

Quiz, class, fun

2 classes, a Quiz this afternoon, then some fun
One easy class Thursday, so Wednesday afternoon marks the unoffical end of my week.
I’ve got some stuff on my agenda for tonight, lots of work, and perhaps some neat toy.
Last night, I put up a nice patch for Bug 235577. I think it’s a [...]

Mozilla Propaganda

We’ve got lots of neat stuff coming about. From the shirts at the Mozilla Store, to the FireFox desktop pic. Branding is starting to actually happen. Quite some time after the ideas first came about.
What I’m looking for is a Firefox, and Thunderbird (don’t forget Thunderbird!!!), screensaver that would cause people to [...]
