This could be huge
Bugzilla is a ugly beast, but it’s a great, solid product. Never saw anything better.
Looks like a testcase manager may be on the way.
I think this could really help make things more efficient. Lets hope it all goes as well and this can become a new tool. Who knows, perhaps they can dump the code into Bugzilla and integrate it completely? Would be a great new feature. (pure speculation, haven’t seen it, or read much. No idea what the licensing is, and potential conflicts).
Regardless, sounds like a great method to enhance Bugzilla.

Mozilla 1.6b+ for Windows
Oh where, oh where, have the Mozilla 1.6b+ Windows Nightlies gone? Oh where oh where can they be?
I don’t trust the trunk, because it could burn me.
Oh where oh where can they be?

Midas in forms
I’m working on a new Content Management system for MacVillage.net. To enhance it’s capabilities, I am turning to Midas.
A perfect time to give a little edge to Mozilla users 🙂
I’ve been looking into this some info a bit. Sadly, there isn’t a ton of good documentation on it for a webmaster right now.
I have a basic HTML form right now. Can anyone provide some insight on how one could take a regular form (such as this forum here), and implement midas, so that the value sent to the server is the rich goodness of midas?
I’m pretty pretty much looking for a drop replacement for a text field in a HTML form. Note there should be a fallback to an equivalent, or plain text field for any browser that doesn’t support Midas.
Comments or Email is of course open.
I think this will be a nice reason for people to use Mozilla.

Merry Christmas
MERRY CHRISTMAS
As Slashdot notes, it’s a rumor.
I think it’s a great idea, might just pick one up myself. Not sure.
What I haven’t figured out yet, is why someone didn’t come up with an mp3 player that you can just plug in standard USB Keychain devices to. Think about it:
Most are aprox. the same size, all relatively small, and compact. Easily you could come up with a size that 99% will fit in.
Could make a nice iPod like device, screen, interface, etc. And leave a battery style bay in the back, that a user could snap open, and put their USB keychain drive into.
Would cut down on the cost of Mp3 players significantly. And the USB storage market is pretty affordable. I got a 512MB Lexar Media stick for slightly under $100. And I’m sure it will go down over time.
You could have several keychains, and snap them into your mp3 player.
Then pop out the keychain, and you can use it as a regular USB drive. The best of both worlds. And cost effective. It would be upgradable, since you can get larger USB keychains. Or just multiple smaller ones. It fits all budgets.
Brilliance is always misunderstood.

Removing AIM Today
Since upgrading to the latest AIM Beta (Which is pretty decent), one of the most annoying things is that AIM Today (that annoying popup ad when you sign on), always appears. No way to turn it off anymore.
Daniel Glazman notes that you can turn it off via the registry. To clarify his directions for those not to familiar with Regedit, you basically need the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareAmerica OnlineAOL Instant Messenger (TM)CurrentVersionUsersYOURSCREENNAMEHEREMisc]
"ShowAimTodayWindow"=dword:00000000
Save the above code snippet to a text file and name is aimtoday.reg
Remember to replace YOURSCREENNAME with your actual screenname.
Double click on the file, and add to registry when prompted. Quit and restart AIM.
This is of course AT YOUR OWN RISK. But it works!
Thanks to Daniel Glazman for the great tip.

Update Movable Type, Blog Spam,
As the blogging community knows, MovableType (software that powers this blog) has been updated.
I upgraded this morning, and applied a little patch to replace characters such as & with their HTML entities (so the validator doesn’t bark).
If anyone notices an issue with the blog, please contact me and let me know. I don’t think there are any from what I can see.
On a side note, for a few weeks, I’ve been employing Jay Allen’s MT Blacklist. With great success I might add. One slipped by the other day, and that’s because I didn’t update the blacklist for a while. Now I’m more religious about it.
Now to tend to whatever is causing Bender to crash.
