Flock 0.7 disappoints

June 7th, 2006

You would expect to not loose, but gain more features right ?
Not with flock, 0.7.0.11.1 available for Linux is a step back.
What was wrong with Semi-Live Bookmarks, that is a crucial feature when I am choosing a web browser … and you have removed it! what for…
That move just cancelled all my good feeling for that team :/ at least for now.

Flock not picking up your plugins ?

May 13th, 2006

I have found that my flock is not picking up my ns plugins. NS - Netscape. These are standard Netscape/Mozilla plugins, which usually work across all Mozilla based Browsers.

Fix: In my case, Flock was installed in to /opt/flock. I have renamed original plugins directory and created new symbolic link in place : ln -s /usr/lib/nsbrowser/plugins /opt/flock/plugins.

Das Monday

May 8th, 2006

Uh oh, day almost as usual :)

Yesterday ? I have read some article on polish website ( in polish, so I’m not linking ) where somebody mentioned some writers publishing their book on a web for free under CC license. So I’ve grabber one name: Cory Doctorow who claims to be responsible for boingboing, and downloaded one of his books Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. It is a page turner!

Pissed off by Firefox, I’ve found my self playing with flock. After installing it from BugZilla ebuild ( renamed to use latest version ), and playing cat and mouse with its feed capabilities, I am now happy with it, much happier that with Firefox! :)  Waiting for gentoo to pick it up, and make some source based ebuild.

Read an article on CNet about online calendars, I have tried the Google Calendar, it feels really nice. Sort of Ajax version of Hula Calendar. Introduced Ann to this nice place on the web, after some time which she needed to get used to new stuff we played in events and calendars sharing. It also sends good invites in ics , so my Evolution could pick it up. Nice! Missing just a sync with a Palm OS devices and a lot of people will be in heaven.
