I'm looking for a movabletype plugin that would let me implement BrowserID on this blog. I've googled, I've twitted, and I've searched the movable type plugin directory but didn't find anything. Anybody interested in creating such a beast, to my knowledge the skills required are :

• some perl
• reading the BrowserID documentation
• the movabletype documentation

Bonus point if it supports earlier releases of Movabletype.

Elles auront lieu cette année dans ma bonne ville de Strasbourg (putain que je suis prétentieux). Le programme complet est disponible sur le site des rencontres. Elles commencent demain !! Je recommande particulièrement le stand mozilla :D

We (the Thunderbird team) released Thunderbird 5.0 about a week ago. It's currently being offered to 10% of our users as an update from 3.1.11. When we release new versions we try to monitor early upgrader feedback in bugzilla, in getsatisfaction and on a crash stat reporting page. Our current top crasher is related to Lightning and Windows.

None of the developers can currently reproduce the bug, so we are counting on our users to help us debug the issue so we can fix it.

• Are you using Windows?


• Are you using Lightning?


• Did you upgrade to Thunderbird 5.0 and Lightning 1.0b4?


• Did you crash after that update?

If the answer to all these question is yes - maybe you can help us fix this issue. You'll need to locate your CrashID as explained on our knowledge base article. And look it up on the crash-stats page.

If the signature is cal::UTC() you can help us - if not we'll get to fixing your bug later.
What we need to know is:

• What were you doing when you crashed?


• Do you use tasks?


• What kind of calendar (or calendars) do you connect to?


• Do you have a calendar tab open in Thunderbird?


• Do you have a lot of events that are created in a different time zone?

Let us know those settings, by either living a comment here, or on bug 603416

• Finally, and most importantly, do you crash often due to this issue?

If the answer to that last question is yes, try to follow the instructions at https://developer.mozilla.org/en/how_to_get_a_stacktrace_with_windbg to get a more complete stack trace or leave a comment in the bug and we will ask you to do a few things and that should let us fix the crash.

I've been using google+ for a few days and I really like it, I'd be ready to switch from Fb if :

• My google plus stream was at a easy to remember url (remove the uid and make it my name)


• I could easily set a default circle to broadcast to (mine would probably be +public)


• I could more easily share content from other sites (ie like FriendFeed use to work).


• Birthday notifications

I've been a very happy flickr customer over the course of the last 4/5 years. But it seems flickr is slowing down on innovation and getting useful new features or deals out. So I'm going to publicly post what I would like flickr to bring me over the course of the coming months.

• Support for large image - ie those of us shooting panorama.


• Better cameraphone support , my Galaxy-S (I) is still not recognized after 6 month usage.


• Better maps - some of the map data is very old and should get refreshed.


• Sharing to google +


• Pushing machine tags and have more partner sites use them (here I'm thinking about tripadvisor).

ou le paradoxe du fonctionnaire de Zoé Shepard. Un bon livre, de 300 pages qui se lit rapidement en quelques heures. L'ouvrage est rédigé tel un journal, tout y est chronologiquement relaté, les chapitres commencent tous par des dates. Il raconte les exploits d'une fonctionnaire territoriale lors des six premiers mois de sa prise de service. Le rythme du livre est bon - il n'y a aucun moment qui tire en longueur - le ton est toujours espiègle tout en étant assez sérieux sur les états de service de ce service fictif. Il se lit bien, c'est assez rafraichissant et cela m'a rappelé les ambiances dans tous les services de toutes les grandes sociétés dans lesquels j'ai travaillé. A lire !!!!
