Flock error — resolved

Yesterday I was puzzled by the error message I was getting when I tried to install the Filterset.G extension that is used in conjunction with the AdBlock extension in Flock (and also in Firefox).  I posted the screen shot of the error I received on my Flickr site, and sometime yesterday Killeroid replied to my [...]

Flock error

I tried to install the Flock’d version of Filterset.G from Outraged-artists.com, but I keep getting this error. Can anyone tell me what’s up with that? Here is the message in the original size.

Thanks to my friend, Paul Moor, for passing along this link to a delightful site called “Tarzan’s Tripes Forever and Other Feghoots,” an assemblage of Shaggy Dog stories and other humor, maintained since 1995 by the father and son team of Alan and Brian Combs. This quote is from their 1995 introduction to the site: [...]

Chastened, I blog again

I’ve just completed a Skype call of about an hour and a quarter with my friend, Juan Gutierrez, in which he observed that my blogging has dropped off of late. Like many of you, he checks my blog periodically to see whether 1) I’ve written anything and 2) whether what I have written is of [...]

Food for thought

Dave Winer has an interesting piece on friendship that I recommend to you. It sparked a number of comments that are also interesting, so don’t overlook those. And others have riffed on the idea. Also recommended to get the ole brain working this Monday morning.

Knoxville Flock users?

I’m interested in locating any other Flock users here in Knoxville. The reason for my interest is that over the weekend I exchanged a few messages with Daryl Houston about his recent podcast concerning Flock. During our exchange, I suggested to him that we might meet one evening to get to know one another and [...]
