Come to MAMA!
Oki everyone now it's time for "yo mama jokes".. or not really :doh:
Some of you are interested in what kind of tools we use. Brian has made a blogpost about an internal search tool. We use it to find information and sites where we can test Web technologies. In short, MAMA is a miner, a database, an analyzer, and a search engine. It indexes not the content of a Web page as "traditional" search engines, but everything else (markup, scripting, etc.).
Check out our MAMA:

9.52 August Snapshot
Coming back from a two week vacation just to find the office half empty because the others have gone on vacation is a bit boring, but at the same time it is very relaxing, giving me a slow start.... The boring part is that so little happens at work when people are on vacation. While I was expecting to make a small changelog this time, I didn't expect it to be this small. Anyway, give the build a spin, we're closing in on 9.52 final now.

Changelog
