MozillaZine Celebrates 5th Anniversary

Posted by timothy on Monday September 1, 2003 @03:52PM from the how-may-picoseconds-is-that dept.

An anonymous reader writes "MozillaZine, the Mozilla news and advocacy site, is five years old today. They've got a fifth anniversary section, containing a message from their founder, a chronology (which makes a pretty good Mozilla timeline generally), some trivia (who's bright idea was Music to Code By?!) and an acknowledgements page. I think it's amazing that a free site like this has provided such a great service to the open-source community for half a decade. Cheers!"

  I was going to send an e-card, but the site said I needed IE 4 or higher.

5 years = 1.5778463 x 10^20 picoseconds. I love Google's calculator.

I meta-mod all positive moderation Unfair, because it's abuse of the system.

Y'know... when you've been up until 4am debugging somebody else's badly written code, you finally get to sleep, and the garbage truck / noisy neighbour / dog next door wakes you up a few hours later. You get up, open the curtains, and this strange, transluscent, yellow stuff filters into your room.

That's daylight.

Music to Code By by YOU+LIKEWISE+FAIL+IT · 2003-09-01 18:40 · Score: 3, Funny

(who's bright idea was Music to Code By?!)
Just as a curio, the linked page features as the second selection Wesley Willis - who sadly passed away just a little while ago on the 21st of August, aged 40. I also used to listen to Wesleys strange stream of conciousness punk rants while coding. I'll miss you, Wes.
