The 2004
Mozilla Developer Day is going to take place at the Mozilla
Foundation offices on February 27th. I'll be there. There will
be donuts. Asa
will also be there. And from what I hear, he won't be wearing any
pants. So don't miss it.

Having Mozilla / Thunderbird / Phoenix / Firebird / Firefox /
Epiphany / Galeon / MYFIRSTBROWSER crashes with Fedora Core 1 when you happen
to stumble across a page that contains Chinese or Japanese text?
Yeah, so have most other people. Shaver got to experience the
love that is fontconfig and true type and has a cute
little script that will remedy what is probably the most
common crash. Of course, I did do a Mozilla errata for FC1 that
included a local fix for the symptom but people continue to
download their own builds and are surprised when they see the
problem again. I guess I can't keep all the people happy all the
time. (I also appreciate shaver toning down my language. You
know, for the kids.)

My old friend Dave
Mason, whom I miss quite a bit, has some great pictures from his
time with the Clark campaign. I've always enjoyed his pictures
and his particular skill for getting good candid shots. (Dave, I
think I'll be passing through North Carolina in the beginning of
March assuming all goes well. I think we should hit Pepper's or
something.)
