kibosh
Just heard back from the OSCON 2008 organizers, and my proposal, a talk discussing the model of education we do with Mozilla, was not accepted. I know how this goes, given that we are forced to reject some great talks every year at FSOSS due to space in the program. At the same [...]
Preach it
Just found a great post listing 25 ways to simplify your life with kids over on GeekDad. I found myself nodding through much of it, and 5 years into daddyhood, I’ve learned a lot of these same lessons. I suspect that much of this you have to learn the hard way, but it’s nice to [...]

Welcome back, Ben
Today we had Ben Hearsum come to speak to students working on Mozilla development projects, specifically those that touch build and buildbot. It’s always great to have Mozilla drop-by, but today was especially meaningful because not that long ago, Ben was on the other side of this exchange, hacking buildbot under the guidance of [...]

I’ve been making more progress on the Mozilla Developer Resource Kit, focusing first on getting a local MXR done. Here’s the required screenshot:
Life with extjs has been pretty good so far. Although I hit a snag where I couldn’t override the icons for tree nodes (see the crappy default file icon above). Turns out you [...]
20 chapters
Yesterday was a day to stay home and do nothing, while sick kids spent the day in their PJs slowing recovering from coughs, fevers, and other unmentionable symptoms. Laura’s been reading the girls “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory“. We decided to read some more…a lot more. We ended-up finishing it, which meant reading 20 chapters [...]

“Ideas worth spreading”
Hi TED,
It’s me. You don’t recognize me? Oh, wait, that’s right. My browser is working right now. You’ve only seen me with a crashed browser attached to your site. I love what you’re trying to do, I really do. Those talks are amazing, and I can’t get enough. No really, I can’t get enough, cause [...]

Ext.Ridiculous
I spent the day learning and hacking with extjs. Man, this is a tasty bit of bacon! My goal is to create an organizing web app to hang inside Prism, such that I can display all the Mozilla goodies we’re putting into the Mozilla Developer Resource Kit. So far so good. I’ve got the layout [...]

“Sure, I can talk about that”
Shaver came for a visit today to do a round-table discussion with the students working on Mozilla projects this term. It was a good chance for him to hear about what it’s like to begin with Mozilla, and for the students to give him updates on the state of their work. I really enjoy these [...]

Open Source Design/Development Workshops
Brendan and the phuggers continue to amaze me with how much they are doing so quickly. They’ve just announced a free Drupal workshop at the Rich Media Institute (RMI) to be given by one of FSOSS’s favourite presenters, James Walker. Space is limited to 70, so be sure to sign-up soon.
