Return to blogging

It has been quite a while since I’ve written anything here. Things have been pretty busy — We’ve released Firefox 4 on Android, Firefox 5 beta and are currently working on Firefox 6 and 7.

I’ve got a pretty big backlog of half-finished posts I’m going to start finishing up and posting over the coming weeks. Stay tuned, some pretty awesome things coming soon.

New Fennec Releases

pavlov — Sat, 27 Jun 2009 02:00:54 +0000

Welcome to the world both Fennec 1.0 Beta 2 for Maemo and Fennec 1.0 Alpha 2 for Windows Mobile.

In addition to Maemo and Windows Mobile builds, you can also download desktop builds for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

For these releases we have worked on improving the user experience, replacing our old theme with a much nicer looking one and fixing numerous usability issues. We’ve continued to increase performance and responsiveness. We’ve revamped how you install Add-ons, improved our download manager and the whole look of the application. We’ve started work on making forms on web pages easier to use, providing a nicer combo box UI than before.

Both of these builds are built on top of the same front end and back end codebases — their version differences are just to express their currently different usability levels.

We’re starting to see some very exciting Fennec Add-ons being built by the community, including things like GeoGuide which uses the new Location Aware APIs to show you things like maps and weather near where you currently are, and other things like GraffiTwit, a Twitter client that lets you not only write tweets but also post images you’ve drawn.

We’ll continue to polish the user experience and improve performance, and are already hard at work on some changes that will make big performance improvements.

I’m going to sleep.

Three things…

Christine made me do it

Fun fun

I did my taxes this morning. Using TurboTax online it only took about an hour. Why do we have to submit tax returns every year? Why isn’t this handled automatically? I guess some people want finer control over these things, but I am pretty sure I would rather not have to deal with it.

TGIF

I’m so glad it is Friday. This week has been very busy and stressful. I’ve gotten up before 9am every morning this week, and for those that know me, that’s real early. I’m nearly 3 weeks behind on TV shows on my TiVos. Hopefully I can do some catching up this weekend.

Protests

Protesters like this, this, and this should be sent to Iraq and blown up with the rest of the country. What gives these people the right to disrupt MY life? What? The protesters thought that pissing people off would keep the war from happening? Now they think it will cause the war to end? Give me a break. Stop blocking traffic, rioting, and wasting my time.

Paul Festa

Is this Charles Cooper guy replacing Paul Festa? How can anyone fill those shoes? Without his wonderful and insightful news.com articles, how will I fill my head with bogus web related news? I see that Paul has decided to give hardcore porn a try. I hope it works out well for him.

So busy

pavlov — Wed, 05 Mar 2003 02:11:09 +0000

Not much time for blogging these days. Hopefully I will find some time soon.

My Timex watch band broke the other day. I was thinking of getting this to replace it. Does anyone want to buy me this for my birthday?

[update: I found the watch for only $26,750. A bunch of you could get together and get it for me...]
