Hello, this is a test entry!
Hello, this is a test entry!
Well well!
Long time since I've posted an entry, I was pleased to see
that my account on advogato hadn't been dropped in my
absence. Like always, school has been keeping me very very
busy, but I did get back to mozilla for a while, long
enough to land new mail sound notification with
sspitzer.
Next up: Spell checking in Mozilla.
bah, finally off of school which has been running my life.
I'm getting back to my various mozilla projects, and I
think I'm going to take a stab at editor specific sidebars
right now. I'm also working on new mail notification (using
a sound) which I think is pretty dang important.
That's two things to do: Editor specific sidebars and new
mail notification. fun fun
Stay tuned for an update folks... school has been keeping me busy.
...whew, have a little time to sit down and write...
Fixed 47703 today which is just some short and sweet prefs
panel clean up... waiting for the tree to go green before I
check that stuff in. Tomorrow will be 47704...which may,
but shouldn't, run into Monday.
My pop3 server is
down .. not cool. I'm tired :)
Fixed 47574 today. 47703 and 47704 are on my plate to be fixed by Tuesday
School has started and life is way too busy. I've begun my work on Publish -- more later about that. I have Friday and Monday off this week so I'll try to create a more detailed entry later :)
ugh, school is here :(
Anyways, I currently can't build ever since things were
converted to JARs -- perl crashes during the build. JAR
also is a problem for Dino because we're using XPIs which
no longer will be compatible. (offtopic) In other news,
I've finished the first working version of a database I'm
coding for my school. In Sept. I really really want to
begin (and finish!) coding on Publish...IMHO, it's really
important
Status for week ending 8.25.00
Progress:
49181: No tooltips for alignment buttons on
toolbar
47510: Font set ordering for Helvetica-Arial
problematic
Sheriffed twice this week
Plans for next week
Fix more nsbeta3+ ... although my progress will be severely
hampered by school :(
Dino has been keeping me busy this weekend.
Basically,
it
is a set of patches to Mozilla which won't [ever] show up
in the main tree. Included are functions like adding the
bookmarks menu to the personal toolbar and being able to
add or remove toolbar buttons at will. With the recent
addition of the Print button to the Mozilla toolbar (which
is ugly and out of place) Dino has been very popular. Check
it out at dino.sourceforge.com. Right now, we're trying to
hook a prefs panel up to the add and remove toolbar button
function. (8:30pm) Just posted an article about Dino
to Mozillazine.org, it should show up tomorrow. Cool
stuff.
And now, the bad news. School starts
Thursday and that will severely limit my ability to
touch Mozilla. Very bad indeed.
Resolved three bugs this week:
41968: Print button is dim
48686: Print button doesn't even work
45645: Can paste into ReadOnly text fields
Plans for next week
Fix any nsbeta3+ bugs that I can find

New HTML Parser: The long-awaited libxml2 based HTML parser code is live. It needs further work but already handles most markup better than the original parser.
