After a few really long weeks, bugzilla is finally live. It's about bloody time. Of course, now that it's live, there are even more requests to do stuff.

Oh well. Par for the course I guess. However, I'm seriously considering taking the next two days off to recover some of …

The bugzilla conversion is almost complete, except for a few minor issues that need to be figured out (such as who will be owning the bugs initiall when they are submitted). And a few minor cosmetics. Head on over to bugzilla.linsec.ca and check it out. Constructive feedback is …

Well, someone else was supposed to be working on the new bugzilla, but they got pulled off for an OEM project (completely understandable), so since I really need some functionality and speed out of bugzilla to progress with some work flows I have in mind, I decided to hunker down …

I've been using PhoneValet to handle the voicemail system here. It's an OS X app and it works really good. I've run it on my desktop, but now that I have a spare OS X machine that I've turned into a bit of a server, I've put PhoneValet on there …

I had asked on IRC the other day for info on how to send emails to bugzilla. Well, I found the actual specs for it on the bugzilla site. The documentation in the bugzilla tarball is a bit dated in this regard.
