I promise, my blog is not going to turn into a “desktop wallpaper collection”, but this one is too cool not to show it to you:
“Ceci n’est pas le fond d’écran officiel de Firefox / This Is Not The Official Firefox Background Picture”
By the way, the photographer Denis-Carl Robidoux publishes a picture per day, all of which in different sizes to fit your screen, and for free, too.
The server migration I announced earlier should be complete now.
The DNS entries may still be a little wonky (if you had trouble reaching my web page or even sending me an email for a little while, that’s probably why), but apart from that all should be peachy. The new box is quite snappy, so that’s good!
Oh, of course the new server has a new name, too: Rest in peace, Aurora, and welcome to the family, Luna!
Later tonight, the webserver this blog (and a bunch of other sites) runs on will be migrated to a new, bigger server.
The main reason is that the old box ran out of RAM quite frequently lately (it is a virtual machine that has a flexible RAM limit). The cause of this was mainly the ever-increasing amount of spam, and in spite of the most recent counter-measures, the little VM wasn’t able to cope with it any longer. The new server has a bigger CPU, twice as much RAM guaranteed, and other improved features that make me confident that the change is the right step.
For you, dear readers, this means you may experience a few problems loading our websites while we are performing the migration (sorry) but we’ll try to keep it to a minimum. You’ll be rewarded with an even faster, nicer, and obviously awesomer fredericiana.com later. Thanks for your patience!
Last night, Mozilla’s Bugzilla bug tracker was updated to Bugzilla 3.2 with a lot of UI changes, some of which are improvements, others are not.
One of the things that struck me as weird is how all flags, resolutions, etc. moved to the top of the page, while the “commit” button remained at the bottom, by the comment field. That means to resolve a bug, you need to (including the additional click that is now needed to pick something from the resolutions dropdown list):
So I decided to throw a quick Greasemonkey user script together to put an additional commit button to the top of the page (just so we can drop the scrolling part), like this:
And here’s the script for your enjoyment:
bugzilla-commit.user.js (click to install)
(Please note, it remotely imports jquery from jquery’s google code repository; that’s probably something that should change in version 0.2 
).
Update: It seems, this patch has been upstreamed and deployed at least on the Mozilla bugzilla instance. That makes this user script obsolete. In a good way
