Flock - HTMLCenter.com Flock then uploaded the picture to Flickr and returned HTML code from Flickr in place so I can use the screenshot in my post. The bottom line is that Flock looks to me like the most promising Mozilla-based browser project as of today. Flock is certainly not perfect, but is at least ten steps up in evolution from the Firefox browser. blog.htmlcenter.com /2006/06/flock_1.html   (1088 words)

flock - lock an entire file with an advisory lock flock() is Perl's portable file locking interface, although it locks only entire files, not records. This means that files locked with flock() may be modified by programs that do not also use flock(). Note also that some versions of flock() cannot lock things over the network; you would need to use the more system-specific fcntl() for that. www.perl.com /doc/manual/html/pod/perlfunc/flock.html   (370 words)

Flying with the Flock Flock did a good job at sticking to the basic structure of a browser and basically looks like a beautified Firefox, but with extra features. Flock also said that there was del.icio.us integration with the browser, so I went straight to the Favorites Manager to see what they have done. Update: Geoffrey from Flock has left a comment and mentioned on his blog that they are working on fixing the del.icio.us issue with automatic adding of Flock bookmarks and it was not their intent. www.solutionwatch.com /262/flying-with-the-flock   (3620 words)

Craig Reynolds: Flocks, Herds, and Schools: A Distributed Behavioral Model The aggregate motion of a flock of birds, a herd of land animals, or a school of fish is a beautiful and familiar part of the natural world. Flocks and related synchronized group behaviors such as schools of fish or herds of land animals are both beautiful to watch and intriguing to contemplate. Flock centering causes the boid to fly in a direction that moves it closer to the centroid of the nearby boids. www.cs.toronto.edu /~dt/siggraph97-course/cwr87   (9077 words)

New browser gives taste of Web 2.0 | Tech News on ZDNet The team of developers was spearheaded by Bart Decrem, who is well known in the open-source community due to his involvement in the Mozilla Foundation and his ill-fated start-up Eazel, which from 1999 until its demise in 2001 aimed to bring greater usability features to the Linux desktop. Flock includes a built-in RSS reader, which allows a user to read all of their favorite blogs in one place, without the need to separately navigate to each one. Flock is available for download Friday for the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux platforms from the project's Web site. news.zdnet.com /2100-9588_22-5905922.html   (1046 words)

Flock, the New Browser on the Block Flock hopes to turn the browser into a dashboard for collaborating, blogging, sharing photos, reveling in a raft of other group activities that have recently caught fire online (see BW, 9/26/05, "It's a Whole New Web"). Flock is also the latest and most ambitious example of a surprising renaissance in browser innovation. The Flock browser, which is expected to be released to the public in test form in about two weeks, does everything a regular browser does, but with several important additions. businessweek.com /technology/content/oct2005/tc2005105_2789_tc024.htm   (1531 words)

Advanced browser gives taste of Web 2.0: ZDNet Australia: News: Software Flock includes a built-in RSS reader, which allows a user to read all of their favourite blogs in one place, without the need to separately navigate to each one. Flock integrates with a number of popular blogging services, for example, Wordpress, Six Apart and Blogger, according to Decrem's own blog. He said Flock was not interested in causing problems by creating a code base that diverges from Firefox's own, a development known as 'forking'. zdnet.com.au /news/software/soa/.../0,2000061733,39218173,00.htm   (1192 words)

flock - TechCrunch This is not good news for the privately-backed social browser Flock (also built on Mozilla), which is yet to release a 1.0 version of its browser. The Photobucket version of the Flock browser is identical to the one available at flock.com, except that Flickr functionality has been stripped out, leaving Photobucket as the sole choice for photo integration. Given how closely Flock has integrated with Yahoo services in the main version of their browser (del.icio.us, Flickr and Yahoo Search), I would not be surprised to see a Yahoo version of Flock sometime soon. www.techcrunch.com /tag/flock   (1166 words)

Department of Agriculture | Monitored Flock If your flock is found to be negative for Avian Influenza after the first visit, you will receive a Poultry Inspection Certificate that is valid for 10 days. In flocks containing both gallinaceous birds and waterfowl, a Poultry Inspection Certificate cannot be issued until the results from the waterfowl are received. To be included in either program, you must register your flock with the Division of Animal Health, and your flock must meet the definition of an established flock. www.state.nj.us /agriculture/divisions/ah/prog/mf.html   (630 words)

Review: Flock Browser The Flock browser is an attempt to bring some of the Web 2.0-style concepts right to the application that gives you a view of the interweb. To the regular browser window, Flock adds what it calls the "Topbar"—an area just above the browser's main window, in which you can display photos (see section on photos), and used to offer maps and blog post summaries, which we thought was cool, but the Flock powers that be had some reason to eliminate it. Flock's Snippet feature lets you drag images and text from any web page onto a panel where you can save them as snippets, which you can later drop into your blog via Flock's blog editor. www.publish.com /print_article2/0,1217,a=181411,00.asp   (1580 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Flock: Music: Bell X1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) "Flock" is very accessible: it manages to have universal appeal without sinking to the level of the lowest common denominator. Listening to 'Flock' may cause a few breakages of its own, mainly from spinning around rooms in giddy delight. Flock is just a brilliant mix of amazing tunes and fantastic lyrics that really speak to you. www.amazon.co.uk /Flock-Bell-X1/dp/B000BJ7CGK   (1484 words)

O'Grady's PowerPage - Your Mobile Technology Destination Flock is a new browser that's built on the Mozilla code base, but it's more than that. If you're a blogger, Flock features built-in tools that allow you to easily highlight some text on a Web page, right-click on it and select "blog this." This feature has tons of potential but I could only get it to work with my Blogger account. Bear in mind that Flock is only a developer preview, they list the version number as 0.5-pre. www.powerpage.org /2005/10/flock_my_new_we.html   (536 words)

TECHNOSIGHT » Flock - Another Browser for the Tech Community   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) The Flock teams’ ideas are great but even from a power user’s perspective I found a couple of the features unintuitive (e.g., the “Shelf”) and lacking (e.g., “blog editor”). Flock would have to go back to some of the basics for that to happen but if they did so, they wouldn’t be Flock (the digital divide shows itself again). If Flock is stuck on tags, I don’t mind the idea of tagging in place of folders but at least make the tag have a drop down folder if placed on the toolbar. www.technosight.com /blog/flock-launches   (925 words)

Flock - Download   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Flock is based on the Mozilla infrastructure, and has therefore inherited a lot of the best characteristics of Firefox, such as tabbed browsing, quick RSS feed aggregation and the customizable toolbars.

BBC NEWS | Programmes | Newsnight | Internet Part II: Return of the geeks? I met up with the guys who invented Flock at something called a "barcamp" in Amsterdam: they had taken over one floor of an old office building in Amsterdam docks and equipped it with beer, sliced bread, Red Bull and whiteboards. So, what Flock represents is the first coherent attempt to write a web browsing programme where all the interactive elements are part of the programme, not bolt-ons. The emergence of Flock is part of a wider movement known as Web 2.0 - when computer programmes are released they always have a version number so this means we are going into "version two" of the internet. news.bbc.co.uk /1/hi/programmes/newsnight/4382626.stm   (932 words)

Windows A to Z!- Flock Web Browser Review The layout of Flock is identical and even the button, address bar and search bar are in the same place as they are in Firefox. We do, however, have to say that Flock's favorites system can be confusing at first because they go back and forth using the term "starring" and "favorites" for the same thing. Currently, there aren't any themes and very little extensions for Flock, but keep in mind that Flock is still very early in development and we expect that as more people being to use Flock, more extensions and themes will become available for download. www.windowsatoz.com /product_guides/software/flock.php   (1126 words)

Flock   (Site not responding.

Graig Reysnolds was the first who made a simulation of a flock: a school of fish or a flock of birds.

Photobucket and Flock Launch Custom Browser Flock uploads the image to the user’s Photobucket account and inserts the correct HTML. I’ve often thought that Flock was far too geeky - it’s only useful if you’re an early adopter and a heavy user of Flickr, del.icio.us and blogging tools. The Photobucket Edition of Flock is no different than the standard Flock browser, except that Flickr is not exposed by default when setting up a photo sharing service. mashable.com /2006/07/04/photobucket-and-flock-launch-custom-browser   (1114 words)

The Definitive Flock Beta 1 Review - PaulStamatiou.com Flock isn’t any ordinary browser, it is the browser for you and your friends. Flock has an amazingly useful uploader which has taken over Flickr Uploadr as primary Flickr uploader for me. As expected, you can drag and drop photos into the uploader, add titles, tags and descriptions as well as rotate and crop images. Flock has taken a major step backward on this one feature, and while the rest of the browser is great, and very tempting, if they don’t fix this, there is no way the browser will ever be able to manage large numbers of favorites, or accomodate heavy web-browsing habits. paulstamatiou.com /2006/06/15/the-definitive-flock-beta-1-review   (11631 words)

PHP: flock - Manual   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) PHP's flock() is a nice little hack for simple synchronization situations: trying to use it in big situations won't reliably work. The argument "flock() is no good because of differing platform based handlings" fails because the methods you need to use the above are at least as much dependable on platforms as flock() is itself. As flock() doesn't work over NFS (whereas fcntl() does, but there's no PHP interface for that), you may have to provide some sort of backup locking system if for one reason or other you need to use NFS (or VFAT, but as the documentation points out it's antiquated). us3.php.net /flock   (4570 words)

FLock download trial for free ( registration code , key )   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) By using FLock, you can limit user access to those WindowsNT resources that are initially "defenceless" such as floppy disk drives, CD-ROM drives, parallel and serial ports of the computer. FLock advantages: It is implemented as a driver, its protection acts just from the system loading. FLock takes only a few system resourses and doesn't load the processor, because it doesn't participate in input-output operations. software-on-line.com /prg/30401.htm   (167 words)
