This animated explanation, sans narrative, of how the website formerly known as del.icio.us morphed into delicious.com, its current incarnation, shows the evolution of one UI into another and illustrates some ways to use the newly-evolved interface to a catchy little tune to boot. The video is worth watching for the entertainment value alone although it [...]
If you search back through this blog or check the categories listing in the sidebar for the word “Flock,” you’ll find lots of references. That’s because I began beta testing it (almost alpha testing it) several years ago. There were many things I liked about it back then that are still present in the latest [...]
This morning I discovered through my RSS feeds that version 0.9 of Flock was available for download, so I downloaded and installed it. I am writing this post using its blog editor. My initial impressions of the user interface are generally positive as it is quite different than it was when I last used it. [...]
In what I suppose will come as a shock to some who think of me as a ”SuperFan” of Flock, I’m announcing that during the last week I have decided to change my default browser to Firefox 2.0, just as Tish is getting on the Flock bandwagon. The primary reason for the change, in my case, is [...]
The social bookmarking service, del.icio.us, turned three years old yesterday. For some time I have been meaning to discuss this service and how I use it, so the occasion of its third birthday seems like a good stimulus to do that. Because this service is tightly integrated and therefore essentially effortless with Flock, I have [...]
The title of this post might be the headline if the Knoxville News Sentinel chose to cover the August 23rd meeting at 7:00 PM in South Knoxville of the nascent Knox Bloggers group.

Thanks to my friend, Shannon, I now have another computer (I still have the old one too), and the new one is running Ubuntu 6.06. So my absence from posting for a while is at least in part because I have been on “educational leave.” If the truth be known, I’ve been quite busy on [...]
Daryl and Mike and I met back on March 22 for the first Flock Meetup here in Knoxville. Last night we were joined at the second Meetup by Dave and Gabriel, so our numbers are growing. For about 2 hours we discussed where Flock is now and where it is headed. The new direction seems [...]
I’ve just received notice from Daryl that due to some scheduling issues, he has had to change the date of the Flock meetup from Thursday to Wednesday, July 26, 2006. It will be at the same place and time, however. technorati tags:Flock Blogged with Flock
Daryl has finalized the plans for next week’s Flock Meetup. Unless some unforeseen circumstance prevents it, we will meet at Barnes and Noble at 7:00 PM on Thursday, July 27, 2006. There is a Starbuck’s in the bookstore that has coffee and things to eat, so if you are hungry and/or thirsty bring money. Otherwise, [...]
