Down in Baltimore Inner Harbor yesterday. Boston Red Sox got the asses handed to them by the Orioles. The Red Sox were staying in the same Hotel as I was. Feel dirty. Need a shower.
There were tons of sox fans there. So loud in the beginning…. surprising how quiet they were after the 7th inning. Guess they couldn’t figure out how to get their heads out from between their legs.
Been a few days since my last Mozilla related post….
Some great info posted here regarding a neat little easter egg that’s been around for ages. Sure wondering what will be in upcoming Mozilla/Firebird releases.
Asa Dotzler wrote a bombshell on the OS X Browser Market. A real good read if there is anyone who hasn’t read it already.
Lastly my marketing.mozilla.org meta bug has gotten some traffic, but could use more!
Also, still looking for more web badges for Mozilla and Mozilla Firebird. Contribute!!!
Still working on the new design a bit. The home page is more or less done. Some tweeks and changes still needed. As well as getting it to validate properly.
I hope to have that done within the next few days. (if all goes according to plan). Follow this link To see if I’m at my goal yet.
New design scales very nicely. Try shrinking the window. You can get real small… and it still looks nice.
Also making use of several different usability components to make the site more intuitive and easier to navigate. If you can’t figure out what’s changed… but can easily use the site. Then it’s working well!
I’m redoing this blog. It will finally be HTML 4.01 transitional compliant (not yet compliant… but getting close). Also will render properly in all browsers. Please pardon the terrible appearance over the next few days as I finish the design. Implement it. And debug it.
Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame is fun… but far. Butt is tired from sitting in Dodge Durango.
Cool stuff, quiet city. Amazing. They call it a city. but nobody is there.
Saddam’s Sons are no longer a threat to anyone [CNN] My only bad feelings are that the people of Iraq didn’t get a chance to kill them by clubbing them to death with the sole of their shoes. Two evil men, known for torturing people, and responsible for pain in many families, whom don’t know what happened to their loved ones.
Now where is their father? And where is Bin Laden Mr. Tenet?
MacVillage.net 4 (Daemon of the Abiss) is moving along slowly, but surely. Redoing pretty much the entire site. HTML and all. As well as new architecture and backend. So it’s massive and slow.
Several pages are running in staging (without a design). Somre more complex pages including Mac PR, and News should be done this weekend. Then it’s the homepage, my page, as well as a few more “complex” pages. Then it’s time to tie up the lose ends in the authentication system, rebuild the wirless site. (template, content, the works), template all remaining pages (several hundred). Create a design/stylesheet, debug, test, deploy.
Then my normal mantainance/R&D job begins. It’s a labor of love I guess.
So good progress, but slow progress. More updates soon.

I am the king of CPU Power.
I assume by the time everyone reads this, the news will have spread to everyone that Netscape is in essence no more, and Mozilla, is somewhat like an 18 year old recruit on the way to war. Barely any training in what lays ahead, a ton of fear, a fire in its heart, and a burning desire to make its parents proud.
As many know, the EvangelMoz project had a slight skirmish with the Mozilla Project a while back, regarding if it should be marketing towards end users. It is apparent this is behind us, and we should move forward as one group, advocating open source software, standards compliancy, and inter-platform consistency. I would hereby like to propose an informal roadmap for the EvangelMoz project, in hopes that others will join in, and make a contribution to Mozilla in whatever form they can, and benefit the project as a whole. Our ultimate goal is to ensure all that I stated above.
Enough formalities and horrific writing that embarrasses my High School English teachers.
Here are my thoughts broken into two:
So I open the floor to public comment at this time.I know it’s a busy and confusing day for everyone. I would like to send my regards to the folks at Netscape, and wish them all the best in whatever road they travel. Hopefully, our soldier Gecko will be marching behind and covering their back.
