			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, it&#8217;s been a month to the day since my last post here, and quite a lot&#8217;s happened in that time. Those of you that keep up on Mozilla things might realise that I have changed jobs and I&#8217;m now working for Mozilla on the Firefox team under <a href="http://steelgryphon.com/blog/">Mike Connor</a>. I&#8217;m going to be putting work into the addons side of Firefox 3, in particular taking some of the <a href="http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/Product_Requirements_Document#Add-ons">main requirements</a> as well as tackling some of the really <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312473">irritating</a> <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340219">issues</a> that have lain dormant for a little too long for my liking. Most exciting stuff for me right now (yes I know, I&#8217;m sad!) is that I&#8217;ve been working on doing <a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=382752">unit tests</a> for the extension manager component which makes testing new patches far easier to my mind as well as of course allow us to start catching regressions.</p>
<p>Getting this new position has been quite a fantastic achievement in my eyes and it&#8217;s allowed me to do other things that I&#8217;ve been needing to do for some time, like move house and various other personal goals that I won&#8217;t bore you with here.</p>
<p>In case you were wondering how this affects my extensions, well not much in all honesty. They are still all my personal work and all done in my personal time and the amount of time I have spare to work on them is (unfortunately) still about the same. I am however thinking about a fundamental change about how my extensions are available to the general public and in particular one that I think will encourage more outside contribution to my extensions, meaning that the burden is taken off me as a lone developer to add features and fix the bugs. I&#8217;m still mulling this over at the moment so watch this space for further news.</p>
