It’s been a hard day’s night

The impending 2.0.0.2/1.5.0.10 release has been heretofore painful in a way reminiscent of the 2.0.0.1/1.5.0.9 release, but interestingly enough, it’s been so for completely different reasons. I’m currently at the office, signing bits and pushing them out to the mirror farm. It’s been an interesting release from a build/release standpoint: I fried my brain doing Read More

My IFR clearance—a concept which I’ve been meaning to devote an entire bloggity-blog post to—was issued by air traffic control as follows: Cessna three-two-three-romeo-foxtrot is cleared to the Napa County Airport via: on takeoff, right turn, heading zero-six-zero within one nautical mile of the airport, radar vectors IMPLY intersection, Victor one-oh-seven, Oakland, Victor one-ninety-five, CROIT Read More

The FAA, in its infinite wisdom—and, for once, I’m actually not being sarcastic while referring to the concepts of “the FAA” and “wisdom”—allows you to record up to twenty hours of your required forty hours of in-IFR-conditions training to be in a sim. This tends to help out, since flying a sim is around $50/hour Read More

Before I present my open letter, some context is necessary. From #foxymonkies: 00:23 <@Ryan> @preed-scotch: Drinking at the office? :0 00:24 <@preed-scotch> Ryan: hell yeah. 00:24 <@preed-scotch> I’m stuck here until 4 am. 00:24 <@preed-scotch> What would *you* be doing if you wer stuck here until 4 am. 00:24 <@Ryan> ouch 00:24 <@preed-scotch> so 00:24 Read More

Dear Firefox Community, I need your help here: how do you best pimp Firefox in three minutes? Slashdot recently posed this question in regard to Linux, and at the time, I mostly ignored it, because… well… I didn’t find it particularly relevant. But then, in a coffee shop this weekend, I was getting my morning Read More

“Your mission, should you choose to accept it…”

Mozilla IT (thanks Aravind and Justin!) recently archived to tape a huge set of builds from the mozilla.org FTP staging server.1 These aren’t just the builds, but also the original build artifacts, from the original tinderboxen, through what was released (and probably [hopefully?!] is still available) on the FTP server. I asked IT to make Read More

A Spoon Full of Triage…

It’s a sour medicine, but if the list is ever going to become… realistic, it has to happen. I, too, joined Coop and rhelmer in making my bug list reflect reality this evening. Now I only have five bugs!! What ever will I do with all my free time?! I think the weirdest part of Read More

I had a couple of people ask me about a recent post. Their inquiry basically amounted to “Woah… are you ok?” Truth be told, I was appreciating the picture on a “sometimes you can’t quite see where you’re going, but if you have the right tools, you’ll probably be OK”-level, not an apocalyptic “OMG We’re Read More
