Following up on my brief blog post the other day, I am currently in Mountain View to work from Mozilla’s main office. The main reason for this is that we had the pleasure of hiring Kadir Topal as the SUMO community manager. The plan is to get him properly introduced to all the people he’s [...]

Back to In-N-Out land
I’ll be working from the Mountain View office next week starting Tuesday. See you on the other side!
Ubuntu is old, most of the time
One thing that I really don’t like about Ubuntu is that, by default, it doesn’t automatically upgrade popular software releases until a whole new version of the operating system is released. This means that right now Ubuntu 9.10 (the latest stable release) is still running Firefox 3.5.8 and OpenOffice.org 3.1.1, when the latest versions are [...]

I’ve found that I blog much less nowadays and the main reason for it is a lack of time [...]
Improve your karma: Help some Firefox users today!
Today, Firefox 3.6 will be released. From a support perspective, the big highlights of 3.6 are
Less crashes
Automatic plug-in update notifications
More win
It’s certainly a time for celebration (perhaps I’ll even have a beer despite the fact that it’s only Thursday!) — but it’s also an opportunity to help the many people that will try Firefox for [...]
Five years ago, Firefox was born
When I blogged about the launch of Firefox 1.0 five years ago, I knew it was a big day that we would look back at in the future. However, I would be lying if I said back then that I knew what kind of impact Firefox would have on the web as a whole.
Five years [...]
Director and actor
