kumar

• AMO
  • Developer pages
    • Big one is the Add-on validator screen
    • small changes here and there, bug fixes
  • Started some ideas for adding a JavaScript test suite to AMO. Feel free to add yours.
• I like Chicago. The winters are brutal but that's when everyone stays in and gets a ton of work done. Chicagoans emerge from winter with a lot of accomplishments. Also, it's the smallest big city in the world. You can easily get to know a lot of people really well in a small circle (this is both good and bad).

lorchard

• Helping out with some customizations on a fork of BYOB
• webtrek: long weekend hacking on node.js + websockets + canvas

  • Source: http://github.com/lmorchard/webtrek
  • Needs a lot of work
    • No collision detection or actual game yet
    • You can fly around with arrow keys and shoot with space bar.
    • There is (crappy) networking
    • Be sure to try the fancy space backdrop.
• Favorite city
  • Pretty fond of Toronto, ON, CA; Ann Arbor, MI, US; and San Francisco, CA, US.
    • But, Toronto is pushed over the top by the availability of poutine and real-sugar ketchup
