Flockupcake June 28, 2006
Posted by dllh in Personal, flock.2 comments
On June 24, my daughter turned two years old. We had an extended-family party for her, and my wife baked star cupcakes. As party favors for the kids, she had made some blue and green tie-dyed tee shirts, and one of the kids’ activities was going to be making tie-dyed sock puppets. It was pretty nifty. (Yes, you turn into a weirdo when you have kids.) I mentioned that since she was going to have blue star cupcakes to match the shirts anyway, we should shoot a picture of one for me to post as a flockstar. She went the extra mile and added the Flock logo on her own, and here it is. As far as I know, this is the first Flock baked good.
My First Userscript June 27, 2006
Posted by dllh in bugzilla, flock.1 comment so far
Every time I go through my bug mail and see updates to bugs that I’m not sure why I’m being copied on, I click through to bugzilla to see what the bug is about. In spite of the hundreds of times I’ve read bugs, I still have trouble every time spotting the “assigned to” field to figure out whether the bug is mine or whom I should communicate with about the bug. Finally, after doing a bunch of bug management this morning, I got tired of it and created my first Greasemonkey userscript to make spotting the bug simple. (A couple of months ago, I actually made this modification to Flock’s bugzilla install, but a staffer suggested that it really wasn’t the best idea to enforce my personal preference on everybody, and he was right.)
Note that the “assigned to” label is now highlighted in bright yellow, drawing the eye to that field. 95% of the time when I’m looking at this top portion of a bug, that’s the field I’m looking for, and I’ll now save seconds per bug that I would otherwise spend darting my eye around the page in search of the field. That equals minutes per week, hours per quarter, days per decade. All in all, I figure this’ll cumulatively add 3 or 4 days of productivity to my life, and who can argue with that? If you have similar troubles parsing bugzilla output, you can download my little userscript here.
