For the merging of Firefox 23, I created a list of bugs I attached to this blog. That became the basis of a post on Hacks describing the features in that release. If learning to use advanced search features in Bugzilla doesn’t sound like your kind of thing, don’t worry, you don’t have to read […]
I sat in on three sessions at Google IO 2013 yesterday. Memory Lane with Chrome Devtools and GMail was the first.
