About this site

For six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul

Firebird vs. Firebird, the plot thickens
I've just spent a bunch of time reading all the blog posts from Mozillians about the Firebird naming controversy. The Mozillians are wrong, dead wrong, and their argument boils down, almost universally, to "AOL's lawyers looked into it and it came up fine." It's not fine, but what really rankles me is the unprofessional and petty way all the Mozillians are belittlng the guys from Firebird DB (most of them have even started putting little TM symbols next to Firebird every time it appears in text ... blanch). I hope Mozilla.org is forced to change the name and, more importantly, apologize. I have never seen a bigger group of sissies in my life, and I deal with Mac and Linux users regularly. Shame on all of you.
