and then we can go on continue de-bugging
By another day or two
Truth be known it gets us little bit out of the limelight but the reality is we still
start getting
Yeah yeah but at least other people wont be waiting for us so lets..
Does that sound reasonable Is it cheating way to thats how we relax the
people Its-its gettingits too intense like its like
I-i-i-it allows us to stabilize whatever dumb thing you do
Right laughs
Makes us
Right and now we can try throwing the switch and we can also call up the next guy
and say why dont you try throwing the switch and help us debug whats going
on in alot of
they

God these
Yes we did
We went over the Moz-Moz light
Yep 826-5285 Where does he live
How are things going with Mozilla.corn do you think
Oh Christ...alight whats his number
Urn the mail coding is still think people are really upset about it
Have you started to publicize that and say stuff about it
No mean Im still trying to make it go out and urn..
think even if youre gonna make it go out it doesnt hurt to go public and say
youre worried about it..
Well weve already mentioned that we have this problem with the database code
they know that its not gonna work if it does go out
Think of it this way them might be three things two things that cant go out so it
we bring up three that are giving us trouble and we save one were fighting ..the
claim is were trusting the net so...Tara was saying that it really makes sense to..
break
TH
Romero
this is Tara we have bit of panicked emergency do you know
anything about the thirding functions and the XFP that calls into Java and Java
Script
Yeah well essentially yeah theyre getting deeper and doope into in and theyre
trying to figure out what the hells going on So MacAfee said either you or Tosha

Its all based on an environment variable..
Right and how are we going to do an environment variable the meg system on the
Mac and get project files
TM Hi Chris its Tara...um how much do you love me Good What do you know
about like threading stuff that falls into Java stuff and Java makes it feed OK
were you following this thread on heads that we were having in the last day or
two about ..OK so the Java guy has hit
really big huge brick wall If you were
conferenced called into bunch of engineers you think you might be able to offer
some insight on this
Nick Thompson he went away. .oh man all right well yeah ..they bugged into
the XFE and think thats where the problem there may be some residual fit rock
stuff that were just now seeing because of some IF DEPs that we were using that
we werent supposed to use so..
Were going to go in and that will
get us out of merge hell so we wont have to
worry about merging and well be able to de bug and we can spread the debugging
further across ..get an guy to pull the tree and help us to figure out what the
blank is going on So thinks this helps to get us out of merge hell help release
the tree and get us some more assistance So dont
like the release the tree part
TH like that to...Cochack says once you get something up and running hes got the
source in front of him you can conference call him in but he says the person
teal1ywant is Nick Thompson laughter Thats what said
Well no thats not gonnàhappen He no longer works here
So...whats gonna happen with

hes coming back at 10 and so is Rick so were going to be working Windows
were gonna get Windows straightened out but it sounds like the plan with the Mac
is were gonna end up breaking the commercial tree and..
It sounds like he was talking to some Mac people and this was the agreed upon
approach
Well he didnt talk to me and he didnt talk to ..Ill find out Ill talk to him at 10
if Im still here Ill call him then if not Ill call him from home Ill probably still
be here
Til OK were actually were in better shape for the Mac on Java than we are for
security
really
