Blair’s Brain And Other Unfocused Things

Status update

Got back from my “holiday” late last week, after taking a 3-day roadtrip home. While away I mostly worked on the new Extension Manager UI, and am rather pleased with it all. Er, I relaxed and spent time with family too. Of course, almost everything else got ignored (including IRC). Back to the usual day-to-day awesomeness now.

Extension Manager UI Redesign

Status

• Add-ons tree, list view, and detail view are all mostly implemented, hookup up the the new API, and look like the mockups
• New API is really nice to use
• Synced up with Mossop and Boriss (screensharing ftw!)
• Sorted out a weekly meeting time (timezones are fun)

Loose ends

• Need more data out of AMO’s API – Mossop has talked to people, filed bugs, etc

Next steps

• Installation and updates
• Searching

Target for next week

• Tackle searching
• Tweaks after latest round of mockups

Tab matches in Awesomebar

No update. Expect things to move quickly this week.

Reflections

• Taking a break from a project can result in a more objective view of past decisions.
• Starting new projects is fun.
• Mondays are EVIL.
