		<title>Mysterious Aero Peek Bugs (Part 1)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Aero Peek is one of the new Windows 7 features that we are integrating Firefox with. It adds an entry in the taskbar for each tab. Hovering over the entry shows a preview of the tab contents. IE8 and Opera support this (Chrome has it disabled). Though it slipped from the release of 3.6, we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Help Needed with Aero Peek Tab Previews</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bug 522262 is one of the more important blocking bugs for turning Aero Peek on for the next version of Firefox (with a slight chance of backporting to 3.6). I am having trouble determining the cause and reliably reproducing it on my machine. As some of you may know, I am a fulltime graduate student [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 Tab Preview Preview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The screenshot shows the IE 8 preview-per-tab model, but the architecture is very flexible. The patches are almost done; just a few details left to work out. I&#8217;ll write a followup post with all the technical details when it&#8217;s done.]]></description>

		<title>hg qimport my-bugzilla-patch redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some of you may remember my previous post about a little script that will import patches from Bugzilla into your local queue. I haven&#8217;t worked on it much since October. Yesterday I took a look into converting it into an extension and you can now see the results. Usage is simpler than before: hg qimportbz [...]]]></description>

		<title>Measuring performance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[TL;DR: Dates are terrible; use timestamps. Don&#8217;t expect good Date.now() resolution from Safari/Opera/IE on Windows. Introduction A common testing method in benchmarks, including our own Talos tests, is to measure and compare performance by recording how long it takes to run a given set of tests. In JavaScript, this is often done by using Date.now() [...]]]></description>

		<title>Science of the Web</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My friend Dan Schultz is currently taking a course called &#8220;Science of The Web&#8221;. For one of his assignments (see problem 2), he needs as much help as he can get. Here&#8217;s where you come in. It&#8217;s quick and easy: 1) Go to http://boom.aladdin.cs.cmu.edu/cgi-bin/ipaddy (the server might encounter an error, just refresh and it should [...]]]></description>

		<title>hg qimport my-bugzilla-patch</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m only a few days away from the end of my internship, I can&#8217;t really start any large projects so I went looking for little projects I can get done. This one originated from my dislike of pushing patches from bugzilla. My steps so far have been to go to the bug, find the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Initial Glass support</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I pushed my patch to add glass support to chrome windows for Vista (see bug for some implementation discussion). For those who don&#8217;t use Vista on a physical machine (virtual machines don&#8217;t support glass): it is a fancy blurring effect rendered using the system&#8217;s graphics card. It is part of Vista&#8217;s Aero theme but [...]]]></description>
