Typespeed

Saturday, November 26th, 2005

In the search of better typing skills, I stumbled upon typespeed. The big feature that typespeed has is the ability to go head to head with a friend over the network.

Last night Beth and I (philips a little too) played until our fingers were tired… she won everytime. Anyway, if you want to work on increasing your typing speed, give typespeed a try.

Upcoming outage

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2005

Friday, November 25th from 5-7pm, we will be upgrading an up-link in the Santa Clara co-location. While we are scheduling a 2 hour window, it is expected that the outage will only take 10-15min.

This will affect all core services including bugzilla and CVS.

Perfect time to grab some Thanksgiving left-overs!

If you have any questions or concerns please email sysadmins@mozilla.org

During our last hacking social google provided money for pizza, via the “pizza ambassadors program“. All they want in return are photos of the event…. Well, here is a photo for you. :)

communication

Saturday, November 5th, 2005

I think people talk less then they used to. There is probably more communication overall, but verbal talking seems to be going away. Well, that seems to be the case for me at least. This morning I woke up, discussed my day plans with a friend, coordinated when we would meet up, even decided on breakfast… but it wasn’t until after a few hours I said my first verbal words. It sort of caught me off guard, the groggily voice, and made me realize how little I had actually spoken out loud.

Then I started thinking, this has been happening more and more. Even the telephone is now an easy second to email. I would say that more of my day consists of communicating using my fingers then my voice. Which is sort of silly, since my writing ability is not all that great either.

Oh, and, if you would like me to read you this, give me a call. :)
