“mozconfig” — a play in two acts
Today while trying to figure out a strange build error with a student (mozconfig doesn’t like CR as much as CRLF), Ted decided to share a bit about the inner life of mozconfig. I repeat it with permission for your reading pleasure.
Act I
You run “make -f client.mk”
The run_for_side_effects line runs mozconfig2client-mk
This uses mozconfig-find to find [...]
Why blother?
I’ve earned a reputation with my students and colleagues as being “the guy who makes you blog.” I don’t mind that, actually. As the new students get going on their open source work, I thought I’d make my point by showing some recent examples of why this is important.
First, let it be said that if [...]
I’ve picked my Mac project
I’ve been hunting around for a good project to do while I freeload in Peter’s Mac Development class. I’m just about to finish up my Thunderbird Growl and Spotlight integration bugs, and I’ll be needing something new to do. Here it is: Bug 457546 – add Quick look [...]
Canvas3D and C3DL hit Ars
Gary pointed me to an article on Ars Technica today about Canvas3D and Cathy’s C3DL js lib:
Another project that we have been watching closely is the Canvas 3D JavaScript library (C3DL), which aims to facilitate the development of browser-based interactive 3D graphics with JavaScript. It is highly experimental and is still at a relatively early [...]

The number of high-school students selecting York as their first choice for university fell by close to 15 per cent this year. The drop comes at a time when several other campuses in the [...]

We could do this
One of my colleagues is teaching a class on Cocoa and iPhone development, and it happens to fit nicely into my schedule. Today he was showing different bits of Inteface Builder and XCode, and I paused to ponder the Research Assistant:
It got me thinking that a Mozilla version of this would be great as a [...]
Seneca partnership with Eclipse WTP project
I’ve written previously about my colleague Jordan working on and with Eclipse WTP. Today I see a nice article in IT World Canada about the partnership:
Past collaborations with Mozilla Corp. and Red Hat Inc. have proved fruitful for the communities and students, and “now, what we’re interested to do, is grow this and clone it [...]
Happy Mac is Happy
Yesterday, for the first time in my life, I was thankful for CUPS. My in-law’s printer had been shared over their network via an SMB share on a Windows XP box. After 10 years, that old Gateway decided it was time to head to greener pastures. Luckily, I had an old Ubuntu box sitting in [...]
