As I mentioned previously, user experience (UX) design is one of my specific computer interests, and as the project lead for Mozilla’s Firefox support website, I obviously care a lot about website UX in particular.
One thing that keeps annoying me is how many websites are designed to make use of some “modern” features of the [...]

User experience and houseflies
Thanks, Microsoft, for proving Mozilla’s relevance on the Internet
Part of Mozilla’s Manifesto:
The Internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible.
Part of Microsoft’s “Ten Grand Is Buried Here” campaign (emphasis added):
If you’re the first to locate the buried ten grand, you keep it.
How will you know if you’ve found it? It’s a cleverly concealed webpage that only Internet Explorer 8 [...]
EU Inter-Community Meetup Tomorrow!
Tomorrow I’ll be traveling to Geneva for the first EU Inter-Community Meetup, arranged by no other than the hard-to-resist William Quiviger. I’m really looking forward to this event, which will focus on bringing together active communities from across Europe in the same city for a day of presentations, discussions and workshops. Also, I’ve never [...]
Firefox 3.5 — Upgrading the web once again
If you haven’t already, be sure to visit the coolest sub-domain of mozilla.org so far: hacks.mozilla.org.
The site was created to demonstrate what will be possible to do in Firefox 3.5 using open technologies. That is, technologies that are part of web standards like JavaScript and HTML — not proprietary plugins owned by single companies like, [...]
Nothing to see here, please move along
I regard myself as geeky enough that I should be able to solve computer problems myself, or at least with the help of some self-service online searching. However, there are times when I simply can’t figure it out. I don’t know if I’m slowly getting dumber as I’m getting older, or if I’m just getting [...]
5th International Conference on Open Source Systems
Last week, Patrick, William and I drove down to Skövde for the Open Source Systems 2009 conference and OSCOMM 2009 (the “First International Workshop on Building Sustainable Open Source Communities”). From Eskilstuna, Skövde is a three-hour drive best accompanied with the deep base acoustics of a Citroën playing James Brown, The Beatles, random hip [...]
Mozilla Sweden Meetup — det BLEV kul!
After arriving safely in Skövde for The 5th International Conference on Open Source Systems (more on that later), I finally had some time to reflect on the Swedish Mozilla Meetup event in Stockholm last Tuesday, which was a fantastic opportunity to meet with enthusiastic Swedish Mozilla community members and others that were still just curious [...]
Bli en del av Mozilla Sverige!
Är du intresserad av Mozilla och planerar att bli (eller kanske redan är!) mer involverad i Mozillas community? Kom till Stockholm imorgon kväll, tisdagen den 2 juni kl 18:00 och träffa några av oss för att lära dig mer! Eventet är fritt för alla, men vi har dock en gräns på 50 personer som kan [...]
Server is up again!
I finally took the time to investigate what was wrong with my server’s inability to get an IP address. It turns out that I had set it to static IP, but the specified IP was out of range of the router’s allowed IP addresses (something I thought only applied to its DHCP server).
I actually tried [...]
Got myself a Flickr account at last
I finally decided that it was worth 25 bucks per year to have a permanent, safe, and easy to access backup of all my precious photos. What I wasn’t expecting, though, was how this would also bring back the fun of sharing photos again.
With my photo collection on my personal server (djst.org/gallery), I was constantly [...]
