Moving Site

08.30.07 - 04:08pm

I’m moving this blog over to my main blog at http://www.arcanology.com.
I originally started this here separately to have a Mozilla hosted blog for only my Mozilla stuff but it is too cumbersome to try to blog in multiple places and I wind up duplicating some content. It just feels very awkward.

First Day

06.13.07 - 01:31pm

Tomorrow, June 14, is my first day on the Mozilla QA team. I expect it to be a little crazy during the next few weeks. I’m looking forward to working with people both inside and outside the company though.

Self-Introduction

06.08.07 - 11:29am

Hi, I’m Al Billings and this is my blog on the shiny, new blog.mozilla.com site. I acted quickly and have a coveted two letter moniker.
I’m just starting on the Mozilla QA team in the next week (I actually don’t start for most of a week). A few people here and there might know my name [...]
