On the blink

NSID #13 at MAOW Madrid

NSID day 13 (day 43 for me, no questions please).

At the MAOW in Madrid where Paul Rouget (XUL hacker, yahooo!!) and Pascal gave us a excellent presentation about XUL and how to hack extensions.

First project: continue a Tuenti extension (Tuenti is the most popular social network in Spain, more than Facebook or MySpace).

Thanks Paul!

Well, long time ago I tried Weave (0.1 version) and I left behind in a second, but I don’t remembered why.

Today I was reading something about Ubiquity (I will blog about this awesome extension in a few days, when I have played with it), and suddenly: Weave. Why not give it another chance?

The answer could be: it’s full. Nobody can sign-up now. The server is crowded, so it’s slow, buggy… And yes, it is full and crowded. But you can create your own Weave’s server. And I did on my Dreamhost server (this how-to is focused in Dreamhost, but could be adapted).

Bugzilla is nowadays widely used in the bug tracking world. But only 10 years ago, it was a small project on the Netscape community.

It first release was 10 years ago and run under Oracle (”it cost too much”) and Kiva (”$35,000 at the time”). And on 26th August 1998, Bugzilla could run freely (under Apache and MySQL).

Long live Bugzilla!
