I think I mentioned this about a month ago, but frankly I'm worrying about not only OSCON 2004, but about keeping myself going. My budget for shenanigans and hacking the lizard is now zero.
If you're hiring, my resume is here.
JavaScript strict warnings are really a pet peeve of mine. I also happen to be a fan of the User Friendly comic strip, and I noticed they hadn't yet done any gags aimed at Mozilla. So I sent Illiad (the author of the comic) a little e-mail.
Be careful what you wish for...
It's been about six weeks since the Dev Day, and I'm looking at myself wondering what happened to my little MathML editor in XUL project. Oh, I've been working on it semi-regularly, but not as much as I'd like to. Other things have taken a priority.
Today, I went looking in my e-mail archives, and I was a little disturbed to see that one of the most important contacts -- someone I'd spoken to over the phone -- was no longer in my e-mail archives. Considering this gentleman's company was prepared to offer me a contract to finish my editor, I'm feeling really dumb right now.
If you're still out there, whoever you are, please send me an e-mail, quick! I'm still interested, and I'm getting myself back on the ball.
(The hiatus was caused primarily by trying to figure out how to load and/or save a file... I finally caved in and installed JSLib. A little tinkering and it looks like I'm in business.)

I know I go by the nick "WeirdAl" on moznet, and that this blog has his name in it as well, but for the moment I'll stick to the more traditional initials and last name bit. Mr. Yankovic, you have my condolences.
Interestingly, the #1 problem I'm seeing in a quick glance at mozilla.org through the link checker is that the W3C's HTML 4 Strict DTD is returning HTTP 500... hehehehe
