Amazing Kimberly Tripp

Kimberly never ceases to amaze me. How geekier can one get. Writing a stored proc on the plane is a "normal" thing to do, but when the stored proc gets data from the database, formats an HTML message and sends it to thousands of subscribers from her laptop on the plane...

If you want a technology blog, check my msdn one (in few days)

I know many of you only come here to get some inetresting technology information...

From now on, I have decided to separate whatever I say about techonology (which has to somewhat conform with my employer official views) at http://blogs.msdn.com/malek/default.aspx  (wont start on that for few days yet) and what I say about my own life (which, in return, only concern me, and has no implication on my employer what so ever).

I have kept everytging I had said in the past (in my original www.malekkemmou.ma blog) here as I still have not changed and I would, personnally, not implicating my employer, defend anything and everything I ever said (including recognizing errors of the past, which I recon have happened some times)...

I have hundereds of pages of "creative writing" that have not yet been published, as well as general opinions on politics, social ideals and other genral topics.  off course there will be quite a bit of semi-private / cryptic posts as well, adressed mostly to those who know more about the details of my life.

I will start posting in here and on my other blog very soon, so stay tuned...

For 400 years, you name will still be anywhere I go, and shiny will be every one of my lives with you...

Blogging again

Since the day my mom passed away, I had shied away from public publications... I was to hard to swallow, and harder to come to term with...

Well, here I am. as passionate with my dreams (maybe a little more), as much in love with my self (speak of an inflated ego), and really as much a chanter of the beauty of life as I ever been...

I will just say that (quoting one of my dearest friends) "Life doesn't suck!"...

Thank you Lara for such a beautiful quote...

You like OSS, have a look at community at work ...

I have been looking at bug tracking for a Mozilla (Firefox) bug related to tooltips.

I was surprized by quite a few things. Here are some :

 

  • 5 years to fix a bug ?
    • Opened: 2000-07-13 06:28 PST
    • Status : ASSIGNED        Priority : P3
    • Last modified: 2005-02-11 15:01 PST
  • Threads that take up days to end up marked as duplicates
  • an incredible offer :
I'm interested in attempting to fix this bug...  I'm a competent C/C++
programmer with no experience with the Mozilla code base, so I'd appreciate it
if someone could point me to the part of the code (file and lines) where
tooltips are handled, and I'll take a look.
  • Even comments like this :
The problem, as I understand it, is that the bug blocking this one depends on a
person who is no longer working on Mozilla doing some work, or another person
doing a huge amount of work.  If anyone would like to fix it, many people would
appreciate it.

You still like to use OSS in your critical systems? good luck...
