		<title>My status updates &#8211; what can I improve?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been posting weekly status updates for awhile now (since August 9, 2009). I think they&#8217;re an important part of communicating exactly what it is I (and the rest of the Firefox team) am working on, and how things a progressing. Not only that, it&#8217;s a great way of getting unsolicited feedback, as I often [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Few days late on this &#8211; oops. I&#8217;ll be at the Mountain View office next week for a Firefox team work week &#8211; any hacking I get a chance to do will probably be on random things, rather than my usual projects. If you&#8217;re in the office and want to catch up or talk about [...]]]></description>

		<title>On open video and exclusion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Important note: This post is my own opinion. Nothing more, nothing less.
No doubt you&#8217;ve heard of Youtube and Vimeo launching their beta HTML5 &#60;video&#62; players. There&#8217;s been a lot of talk around the codec that these use: H.264. While Firefox has great support for HTML5 &#60;video&#62;, it doesn&#8217;t support the (patented) H.264 codec, so you [...]]]></description>

&#8220;$&#8221; or &#8220;!&#8221; as the restrict character? Got i18n input: smontagu suggested &#8220;%&#8221; as a more common character on non-US keyboards
Discovered a (small) issue with having such a normalized DB schema
Unit tests (why do these take SO much time?!)
In process of final code review

You may have heard: Firefox 3.6 is out. Its pretty awesome. I helped make it. That makes it extra special.

It&#8217;s fast
It&#8217;s secure
It&#8217;s stable
It&#8217;s pretty

Download it from firefox.com!

		<description><![CDATA[Got back from my &#8220;holiday&#8221; 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 [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be working while up here (working remotely remotely &#8211; very meta), but don&#8217;t expect to see me on IRC as much as usual.
