15 Minutes Of Fame

That's right, I'm famous now, so you can all give interviews and say, "Yeah, I knew Stuart back before he was a famous software developer".

Ironically, I didn't find that bug to be "the most visible rendering glitch on Panther"—in fact, I pretty much only saw it in the test cases (apparently I don't visit cool enough sites). I would much rather have fixed a completely different bug, which drives me crazy on a more or less continuous basis (yes, I'm enough of a loser to still be on dial-up). I had hoped that underlying cause was the same, and I could fix both bugs at once, but alas no. It continues to taunt me by rearranging pages in modern-art-style ways as I scroll. Maybe it's a feature? "Camino: the only browser hip enough create modern art on the fly" We are looking for ways to set Camino apart from other browsers, after all. Who wants a boring old browser that does nothing more than spit out what it's given anyway?

Other's Thoughts

From the mind of Terence Tan

There's a whole lot I wanted to post to Bugzilla, but that's not the right place for outbursts of praise or gratitude. Better suited for a weblog, I think... Anyway, it boils down to this: You Rock.

From the mind of Simmoril

Congratulations Stuart, I'm glad to see the world benefiting from your talents :-) It's dedication and insight like this that really makes the open source community shine. Here's to hoping I can do the same for another project!

From the mind of Steve Jacobs

While this scrolling page distortion is annoying in Camino. I have the same thing happen in Safari/Mail and Pul Fiction also. It doesn't however seem to be as frequent though :-(
