a friend’s company got bought out last week, and he got a new coffee mug from his new overlords. he was quite excited. it reminded me of the time where, after spending three weeks out of four on the road at a bill-out rate seven times my salary, my company (Silicon Graphics) rewarded me handsomely […]
tonight we pushed the fruits of the byob team’s (les orchard, neil lee, and carsten book) labour from the last couple of months to the BYOB app. there’s a whole lot of changes and fixes under the covers, as well as some changes to the user-facing features. those additional features allow distribution creators to hide […]

so… wow. it’s been an interesting last year. – I met a nice girl – who has nice kids – and a dog – who now pretty much lives with me (the dog. actually, the girl too) – and likes to chase frisbees (just the dog) – so I go to the park again – […]
During the release process of Firefox 3.0.7, we added a section on Partner Repacks to the Releases page on wiki.mozilla.org. The idea behind the addition was to make people involved with the release process aware of the repacks, which depend on, and are affected by, the general release process and schedule. The information presented was […]
