I’m pretty much done upgrading the site at this point. At the very least, I think I’ve achieved feature parity with the old version, modulo the categories and the little validation links that used to live in the sidebar. If I have some time/inclination, maybe I’ll re-add those too, but don’t hold your breath.
For those who want the lowdown on all the whizbang going on behind the scenes, brace yourselves:

Just in the middle of upgrading from Wordpress 1.5 to 2.5. Don’t mind the mess.

It’s a brave new world in which I can be scooped by not one but both grandmothers in posting about the arrival of my own daughter.
Isla May Rudnitski Cooper arrived at 8:28am on Monday, weighing 8 lbs 6 oz. Such things are relative, but Kris tells me it was easier than last time. I’ll take her word on it. I’m still impressed as hell.
Will and Isla have met, and they seem to get along so far.

The wall between our house and our neighbor’s came tumbling down around dinnertime last night.
The wall *was* already leaning at a rather precarious angle, enough so that we had actually talked to the neighbor about fixing it just last week. He has a pool in his backyard, so I’m guessing his timetable’s been moved up a little now. We’re just glad no one, especially those of the pint-sized variety, was out there when it crumbled.

I spent the last week getting debug+leak testing slaves setup on our 3 key platforms for Moz2. This moves us a little closer to build system parity with current trunk development.
I’ve put my setup notes in the wiki to aid the next person.

Thanks to kev for coming over this past weekend to help me wire up my office for ethernet, and the rest of my house for phone. My office feels much less ghetto now, and it sure is nice to not be using wireless on my iMac any more.

Thanks to justdave for creating the new LeakTest and UnitTest tinderbox trees, we no longer have to wade through the morass that is MozillaTest to find these test results, which will hopefully help in getting more eyes on them.
The LeakTest tree will house results from our debug+leak+unittest boxes as they come online. Only Linux and Mac are available right now, and both tend to wedge themselves after a few cycles. Windows coverage is stalled on getting enough storage attached to cope with the ginormous log files.
The UnitTest tree will house, surprise, unittest staging boxes, but also any new unittest boxes we’re in the process of bringing up, or any production unittest boxes that need to be alone with themselves for a little while, e.g. WinXP.

I was working late last night debugging the lingering failure in the bug 419759. Sometime after midnight, I had one of those ideas that really only makes sense when you’re on the wrong side of midnight: I made some waffle batter. The payoff came this morning.
If you’ve never had a waffle made with a nice, yeast-based batter, and you happen to own a waffle iron…OMG, you’ve got to try it.
The only thing I can possibly add to the recipe is this: because they are so light and fluffy AND crispy, the batter goes a long way, yielding more waffles than even a gluttonous man like myself can consume in a single sitting, even when assisted by a very pregnant wife. If you want to freeze the leftovers, it’s totally doable, but if you want them to stay crispy (which is also totally doable), lay the excess waffles out in a single layer on a flat surface until they cool, and then freeze them straight away. Stacking the fresh, hot waffles at any point will cause them to soggify by trapping the escaping steam.
Enjoy!

I’m not really sure how it happened. All the points from my previous post still applied, but somehow my winter ultimate team managed to win its final “playoff” game last night, landing us in second-to-last spot rather than dead last.
Been there, done that, got the yellow t-shirt.
