About Me
Hi! My name is Jeff Walden, and I'm just an interested end-user (probably too interested) with a little time on my hands to work to make Firefox the best browser around. I don't really know C++ yet (well, I know a reasonable amount of the basic C-inherited syntax - but more importantly, I don't know the Mozilla tree), so I'm limited to making helpful suggestions, triaging bugs, and helping out with the Firebird Help project (probably will be renamed Firefox sometime, but I don't know when).
Important Stuff
There's not much here right now. I'm too busy enjoying Firefox 0.8 to write much here. Anyways, if by some odd twist of fate you haven't tried out Firefox, give it a whirl! It beats the pants off Internet Explorer with no problems, and it can only get better. Besides, if you don't like something, it's easy enough to fix: just find or write an extension for it. That's the beauty of this whole "Features by Extensibility" thing - it works for everyone.
Other than that, keep on linking to Firefox stuff, like the Why document and such. If you have a website, link. If you have a blog, link. If you don't have either, put a link in your email signatures. If you don't have any of these, convert a friend who does and get him to put links on his blog/webpage. It's viral marketing, people, and it's the only way we'll put a dent in IE's user share. This revolution can only start at the grass-roots level.
One last question
If you got here by the website link in my MozillaZine forums profile, you might be wondering why I even have this. The answer is this: perhaps some of the forum's pages will be linked. Perhaps I will have posted on some of them. Thus, perhaps this page will get spidered. Thus, Firefox gets a few more links. It can't hurt, right? ;-) Perhaps if I ever get my website (courtesy of 1and1) going I'll use that, but for now this is it.
