Firebot: Scheduled Downtime – Wednesday, July 9th, 2008
This Wednesday, the server that hosts firebot will be down for several hours (during the afternoon/evening EDT) for planned maintenance. This, of course, means that firebot will be offline and not available for your bug watching, tree burning, and factoid requesting pleasure. Thanks.
Egos and Stupidities….
Yes, I know, I’m late to the game.. and out of practice at blogging these days. Just wanted to get my own opinion out, since self-expression makes me feel all fuzzy…. So, yay, now we apparently have Icedove and IceWeasel (which for the sake of being anal and annoying must have a capital W in […]
SpreadFirefox Spam
From the SpreadFirefox Account page: “The e-mail address is not made public and will only be used if you wish to receive a new password or wish to receive certain news or notifications by e-mail.” So, how then, did I get an e-mail from “Spread Firefox team [asa@mozilla.org]” that had nothing to do with any […]
SpreadFirefox Hacked Again…
From http://www.mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=7479: “The Mozilla Foundation’s community marketing site Spread Firefox has been hacked for the second time in less than three months. According to an email sent to registered users of the site, unknown remote attackers exploited a vulnerability in the TWiki wiki software, which was installed on the server but not actually used by […]
One Light…
Dedicated to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, The men and women of the military fighting overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to anyone suffering around the world. You’re not alone.
Other New Stuff…
So, what else is new that I haven’t blogged about… I’ve *finally* added the music section to my website. Its nothing spectacular, but I’ve been meaning to add it for months, if not over a year. Its a combination of a list of artists that I like that came to mind while writing plus the […]
Ah, security confusion…
Well, no software is perfect. So today saw alot of activity regarding a newly publicized exploit in Firefox 1.0.3. The exploit is a combination of several flaws, which make it appear that a software install comes from addons.update.mozilla.org, then another flaw in the iconURL paramter of installTrigger that JS can be inserted into, which runs […]
The Firefox…
This past January I got one of the Firefox plush toys from the Mozilla Store. (though it took awhile to show up. :-/) I finally got around to taking a few photos of the little guy. The first shot being of his head from the front, and the second being a profile shot showing his […]
Firebot Update
In my last blog post about the bots, I mentioned combining them into one bot. Well, as of a few days ago, this is now done. 🙂 So I thought I’d blog a follow-up post about it, before moving on to more interesting things. It wasn’t exactly easy because of my inexperience with perl, but […]
IRC Services… and Firebot/Wolfbot’s future…
Well, irc.mozilla.org now has services, thanks to the work of Stuart. I’m not particularly a IRC services champion, but so far, it appears that with little effort on my part, the status quo is maintained and I don’t have to change any behavior on my part. (register nick, register channel, add identify command to chatzilla […]
