I’ve been meaning to blog this stuff for a long time so here goes…

1. Club Moz had it’s first Super Fun Hack Day. Super Fun Hack Day is a day (or part thereof) where people can get together to hack on Mozilla related projects (this means anything that even remotely is related to mozilla). The best part? Food (chips) and drinks (pop) are provided free by Club Moz. We had a about a half dozen people doing active hacking during day. It was great to see Paul sit down with someone and tutor them on extension development. This is exactly the kind of stuff that Club Moz and, esspecially, Super Fun Hack Day is about! Good work Paul! Super Fun Hack Days are going to happen every Tuesday starting at around 3:30pm at Seneca College’s Projects/Linux Club Room.
2. Cesar and I are back to actively working on the MultiCompiler Distcc project after it kind of slipped from our radar.
3. Google has really spoiled me when it comes to web apps. It’s pretty bad. I realized how bad it got when I went looking for a web based to do list. I looked at a few different options including Remeber the Milk, tudu list, and tada list but nothing really met my needs. Finally I’ve found out a solution: voo2do. While it’s UI leaves a lot to be desired, it has all the functionality I need. I’m able to quickly enter tasks, give them due dates (and sort on those due dates), give tasks priorites, have mulitple lists, and multiple views. The only thing that’s missing is the ability to nest tasks but that’s ok.
   The lesson you should take from this is that no matter how pretty and ajaxy and web2.0ey your UI is if you can’t deliver functionality the functionality I need I won’t use your app. But you’ve probably heard that before.
