Where am I? This blog is empty

I’ve started working for the summer, hence it’s been a strange/busy week, and very silent here.

Things will pick up, it’s starting to get quite interesting around here. Very interesting. [evil laugh /]

Busy is a good thing I guess.

Happy Birthday Website

It’s 1 year ago I turned this from a static never updated page into a rather rapidly updated blog style website!

Happy birthday to robert.accettura.com

Some changes coming soon I might add. I’ll be doing a little better with content soon. And some new stuff will come.

Screwed up the blog

πŸ™

I butchered it tonight when upgrading. Decided to clean out some plugins I didn’t use. And it got really messy. It should be mostly restored. Damn I hate making mistakes.

Weblog Awards

The Fourth Annual Weblog Awards are going on.

I won’t put a shameless plug here, but remember who informed you about the awards going on.

Late night changes

Lots of changes to mention, all small but cool:

  1. Cut layout html down by about 1k. Same with stylesheet
  2. Fixed a few small rendering issues in IE/Windows
  3. Feeds all organized on homepage in the new “Feeds Box”, which succeeds “Subscription Information”, as I think this is more useful.
  4. New Atom Feed
  5. New RSS 2.0 Feed
  6. Category icon now links to new category pages
  7. Category RSS feeds available as per Feeds Box info on the homepage (NEW URL)
  8. Ever so slight layout tweaks

A couple of new toys coming soon as well. Including a dump of some more quotes to the quotes database that powers those random quotes on the top of every page.

And AFAIK, all pages validate with the W3C validator right now. Notice something different, send me an email.

Anyone else think some dev’s don’t blog enough

I say this because all to often, Ben Goodger’s checkin’s make me curious πŸ˜‰

XPInstall UI… Not done just yet but getting closer.

That’s about all we see. No screenshots, no blogging.

Some of the Bugzilla bugs are rather vague as to whats being done. Not to much details. IMHO it would be nice to start seeing some more documentation of the day to day changes, in more understandable terms. The Burning Edge is a great website for day to day stuff, but not to much information on each thing. Just a mention.

Not a “complaint”, or a “criticism”, or intended to start a flame war, or a giant thread over at Mozillazine . It’s purely intended as a suggestion for anyone looking for a good way to unite the community a bit.

I think since the Mozilla Foundation formed, the communication went down a bit. Not sure if that’s because more contributions are coming from remote computers, rather than Netscape. Or perhaps it’s pure overload of work over at Mozilla Foundation Headquarters as Asa notes.

In any regard, I hope after the holidays, when things settle down a bit, we see some more. First David Hyatt got sporadic with posting, then many followed.

I’d say one of the best sources right now is Henrik Germal’s Blog. A real quality job in keeping everyone informed on what’s what.

Mozillazine is of course great as well, but not as nitty gritty on the dev work as Henrik can be. With good reason, they tend to orient more toward the general community, rather than the ubergeeks.

Worked way to late/early

Worked way to late last night… well early this morning. Started at 6:30… finished 4:00 (a few minutes early).

It was a bad experience, and I’m not thrilled. I’m quite tired, but that nap I took helped a ton. Will take another later so I can watch South park. Then to bed.

Still, a moment of downtime, so I’m working more on that CMS.

Yet another side note: For those that don’t know already, Jay Allen’s MT-Blacklist/Comment Spam Clearinghouse is a godsend. Since I’ve been using it, nothing has gotten by so far.

I’m just waiting for perl based auto-updating of the master-blacklist. I don’t do Python here. I recommend it to all my blogging buddies. It’s a great product. And props to Jay for the release. He’s saved blogging.

Microsoft Fires over a Blog

This is pretty upsetting. Microsoft fired an individual over this post on his blog. Microsoft says it’s a security violation. Which is Gates-speak for embarrassing Apple’s at Microsoft.

Lack of Posting

Lack of Posting thanks to busy schedule, and lack of network access (switch was powered off in dorm). Thankfully, I’m connected, and checking email, and catching up.

More later… maybe.

BTW: evening without net access sucks. No email, no TV Guide.
