More on Thunderbird in France
I had a great day in Mountain View today.

Travel plans
I’ll be in the Bay Area starting this evening for less than 24 hours (assuming no delays =). I’ll be there again Feb 4-8 for the CalConnect roundtable and other meetings.

In particular, I’ve talked to a bunch of people about some of the messy architectural issues that [...]
Lily: JavaScript, visual programming, fun
I’ve been following the private beta of Lily for a while, but now it’s public and everyone can play. Bill Orcutt seems to be a man with a weird, playful mind, and some serious technical chops.
Vancouver Schools: Bad Planning
One of the joys of building a company in Vancouver is the fact that you can recruit people by truthfully telling them that, compared to many other places like San Francisco, the public school system is great, providing a joyful experience that means your kids mostly go cheerfully to school in the morning, and come [...]
