Mozilla’s Brandon Burton, on The Ship Show

03/19/2013

In case you missed it, Mozilla’s own Brandon Burton (aka @solarce) joined the panel for the most recent episode of The Ship Show1, to talk about his research into and experiences with building and rolling out an internal platform-as-a-service (PaaS). He had a lot of interesting stories and data about introducing PaaS infrastructure at Mozilla Read More

Nightly’s on First; Aurora’s on Second

08/18/2011

I wasn’t going to even bother saying anything, but raccettura’s post goaded me into it. Let’s put this in some perspective:Apple—user experience and design queen Apple—is to the rightof Mozilla’s position on this issue! Allow me to succinctly cut through all the cacophony on this: version numbers matter1. They’ve always mattered. And they will continue Read More

Rapid Release Redux

06/29/2011

I had commented on Mozilla’s new “rapid release process” before the PR storm, but it in tweet form, so I figured I’d expound on it a bit. A lot of the focus has been on Dave Winer’s post (and his followup). His post has been tarred as “incomprehensible” by some1. I tweeted a (humorously-intended) translation Read More

Getting MozillaBuild and CPAN talking again

08/27/2009

The Mozilla Project has a history of producing useful software and tools in the pursuit of its main mission that are not directly in the path of its mission. MozillaBuild is one of these.

Firefox 3.0.11 (still) released!

06/30/2009

The definition of “latest and greatest version” just changed… I heard some some rumbling that the latest version of Firefox, version 3.51, hit the web today. This is most certainly a big accomplishment and everyone involved has many reasons to be proud of this release. But that’s not what I wanted to talk about2. I Read More

Back the change out… and nobody gets hurt

02/18/2009

Remember what Preed The Build Engineer says:“Bad Checkins Hold Everyone Hostage!” This Valentine’s Day1, the boyfriend and I bucked convention and took the opportunity to do something we had both randomly expressed interest in some weeks earlier, but neither of us had done before: learn how to shoot a gun. We found a shooting range2, Read More

Sieben Dinge

01/16/2009

Ack! I got tagged! Planet has been awash in this meme the last few days, so I’ll try to make mine short. Or interesting. Well… one of those, at least. In roughly chronological order: I was born without a hip socket, a congenital birth defect that wasn’t diagnosed until I was 17 months old and Read More
