  • clipmarks (clipmarks.com) About – We created Clipmarks because we’re fascinated by the moments that snap people out of a day dream. Lets face it, when we read articles in newspapers, magazines, or on the web, we often drift in and out of space. But then there are those moments that smack us in the face and make us take notice. Offline, they’re the moments when you reach for a highlighter or pair of scissors. But online, what do we do when something within a web page jumps out at us? Bookmarking the whole page is not an adequate solution because it doesn’t let us shine the spotlight on the parts that matter the most to us. And copy/paste, forget about it. –

  • drupal – (drupal.org) – Drupal.org is the official website of Drupal, an open source content management platform. Equipped with a powerful blend of features, Drupal supports a variety of websites ranging from personal weblogs to large community-driven websites. Drupal tags are available in many tagging services, e.g. del.icio.us, Flickr and Technorati. – The Drupal project began as a hobby project of Dries Buytaert, first released as an open source project in 2001. Since then, the project and surrounding community have experienced exponential growth. By 2006, it became clear that Drupal needed some sort of body to help manage the infrastructure, funding, and promotion of the community-driven project in order for it to continue to flourish. And so, the Drupal Association was born.

Flock 0.9 delivers a much improved Blog Post editor

Posted by erich13 on July 11, 2007

I’ve only had a day to work with it, but Flock’s Blog Post is much improved.I have been told that, to customize the toolbar, you right-click anywhere on the toolbar, and select “Customize”. Not intuitive, but now that I know, that’s good.And with Blogplus, things are much better (e.g. lower blog pop-in and pop-out).

Flock Rocks! IE Drools

Posted by erich13 on April 14, 2007

  • Flock Rocks!
  • Always has, always will.
  • Innovative is the way of Flock.
  • Stodgy IE never has been innovative, and is very unsafe.
  • Internet Explorer was unsafe for 284 days in 2006 (reference).
  • Credit Mozilla for the source of Flock, but Firefox is too big to be as innovative as Flock.
  • Flock on!
