Universal Firefox 0.3
Saturday, April 19th, 2008

Universal Firefox 0.3 Release Candidate 1 is here! If you are wondering about the link, it’s hosted on my own website. 0.3 includes binaries for running Firefox on MacOS. I’ll try to update this post later with more infomation, but for now check out our wiki page…
Other briefs: I want to give my own […]

Firefox, I choose you!
Saturday, April 12th, 2008

I missed an entry for why I choose the USB Firefox, so here’s to make up for it. Come to think of it I didn’t even know what OSD stood for when I took the subject. I just needed 2 subjects to graduate and this is one of the 2 extra random subjects that I […]

Following The Bugs
Friday, April 11th, 2008

Late post for user watching, but here goes. Actually I was quite content on blogging about it before, to see what exactly could be learned from watching a user, but I was over whelmed by the number of forwarded messages I got.
I started with one random guy, who I can’t remember now, who seemed to […]

Last Class
Friday, April 11th, 2008

It’s all over now. Really really over over. Especially for me and Peter Evanoff, knowing that this is our last week in our Seneca program. All that’s left is to finalize our version 0.3 for Universal Firefox and post it on our Wiki project page. It’s been a fun ride and like all good rides […]

Your IT Infrastructure

So you want to know if its possible to get all the pieces of your IT infrastructure to blend together. To find out we’ll ask an expert, Tom Dickson. More after the jump.

Universal Firefox 0.2
Monday, March 24th, 2008

Okay! Continuing what Peter started.. I have to say we really got lucky on this one. Linux as I’ve mentioned from the start of our journey was still quite new to us and we’re learning something new every time we sit down with the OS.
It’s interesting how much we play around that we somehow encounter […]

sample ExTENsiON!
Thursday, March 13th, 2008

Peter and Peter (me) just got this sample extension working. We had got to a point where the extension showed up on the add-ons window, but it wasn’t doing its job! Check the clock, it’s time to get unstuck. Chris Tyler pointed out that the <name> tag on the install.rdf should be consistent where everywhere […]

Point 2 Plan
Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Ok so a more defined plan for 0.2 is in order. For 0.2 I believe we’ll be focusing mainly on getting Linux Firefox to read the Universal Profile and overcome the problem of finding itself through relative paths. Hopefully we’ll find success in that on time, because it sort of feels like starting over when […]

Shaver
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

Yes, another thanks to Mike Shaver for coming to talk with us at Seneca College
It was inspiring to see him dish out the knowledge like he did. We learned about some of the past developments that have ended up in a forked project, got a greater perspective of how other companies especially Google […]

Universal USB Firefox 0.1
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

It really took us a long time to get something going, but we hit the milestone ahead of time luckily. Peter Evanoff and I had spent 3 days a week trying to hammer something out of it all. We looked at LXR /MXR, sometimes asked for clues on IRC, and a whole lot of googling […]
