While I’m not a gamer in general, I do love retro-games. I’ve been thinking that on Mobile, games provide great opportunities for Firefox add-on developers.

Rather, it has grown organically and I’ve become more confident (and hopefully better) over time. One thing I have done is read the Presentation Zen book to try and improve how I [...]

It has been over a week since I got back from SFK09 in Prishtina. I haven’t had time to write about it until now, but it is worth talking about.
I gave an overview talk on Mozilla activities titled ‘Firefox and the Open Web: Web Hacks, Add-ons, Jetpack, and More‘ (Slides: Google Docs | PDF [...]
If you are a Facebooker like myself, and put your photos there, now it is even easier to get the pictures online. In collaboration with Briks, the Facebook Toolbar for Firefox has a new upload feature in the recent 1.4 release. To activate, click on the picture icon on the right-most side of the toolbar.
