ex machina

last night, after many hours of positive reinforcement from mozilla 0.8, i was ready to post some exuberant commentary on how everyone should join the crusade and upgrade.

but then i couldn't post with blogger. o.k. i could post, but i didn't want to because of a 'cut-and-paste' regression bug. as anyone with a blog knows - there's lots of cutting and pasting. fine. then i try to be a good citizen and look through bugzilla and it wasn't working properly either. i wish i had a screenshot, because now - just this minute - bugzilla started working properly with mozilla 0.8.

in any case, it's back to the nightlies. the 0.8 branch is good. better. it didn't crash once yesterday after beating on it for quit some time. it's fast. er. faster. o.k. - it's at least as fast as the 4.x netscape browsers. maybe even a bit faster [i'm talking total speed experience, including 'new window spawning' and 'menu rendering' - not just html rendering]. the promise is there. i see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it's not complete and i guess that's why it's 0.8.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
