This is from Gerv's summary of Mozilla events at FOSDEM:
Alex gets the FOSDEM 2004 "cool tech" award, for his "JSSh"
tool - an add-on for Mozilla which makes it listen for telnet
connections on a given port. You can then telnet into a JS
evaluation shell, with full DOM and privileged access, allowing
you to interactively debug Mozilla's internals. There's also an
emacs mode which provides additional help. It's _extremely_
cool:

Freaky. But unbelievably cool. Or as graydon puts it:
<graydon> tell me you cannot telnet into mozilla
<graydon> please
We're currently in the middle of renovating the second floor of
our condo in boston (which, just to muddle things is actually the
third floor of the house and is an attic.) We're currently in the
destruction phase of the project. This means removing the decades
old wallboard that is nailed to the rafters. I'm not sure what
it's made of. Something like shredded, compacted, cardboard,
covered with at least three layers of wallpaper and paint (Shona
claims there are more layers but I'm living in denial.) Whatever.
Anyway, there's a lot of dust. You can pull it down with your
hands, which is nice. There's also no insulation of any kind
which is both a blessing and a curse. i.e. I've been paying to
heat (sort of) the third floor which is only one inch away from
the elements, but at least I don't have to pull the current stuff
down. I don't think I could handle the itch.
From here it's just a question of getting the rubbish hauled away,
of where there is a lot. Then get the windows replaced
(maybe), electical, new plumbing for the new bathroom, get new
walls in, probably flooring and we're done.
Check back with me in June on this particular project.
Also did a short instrument lesson this weekend. I kind of
stumbled around a little bit with the one approach that we managed
to do. We went out and did some power off and power on stalls
under the hood, which weren't too bad. Did a couple of unusual
attitudes including one which I swear to god, the plane was
right over on its side. But at least I recovered well. Then
we went out and did the NDB 20 approach into Fitchburg. I
completely mis-read the approach plate, missing the location of
the Initial Approach Fix (it was at an NDB/VOR intersection
instead of at the NDB as I was expecting.) I did a little bit
better on the second pass. It was fun, though, if a bit bumpy.
