I’ve finally gotten around to releasing PocketFlock 2.0 based on the Flock 2.0 betas for both Mac and Windows systems.  There’s a new launcher on the way for the Windows side of things that should eliminate UAC woes for Vista users (and hopefully provide a more unified source for both versions)

Anyways, you know where to get it.

Headline just about covers it all.

All the nifty features of Flock 2.0 (which does cover the features of Flock 1.2), Firefox 3.0, and of course it’s portable!

Mac Version coming soon!  Linux Launcher in the Works!  Vista non-UAC Lancher also underway!  Me working less than 60 hours a week (hopefully) soon!

Celebratory Hangover this weekend! (after Mac version)

Sorry again, things were much more hectic than I anticipated.
I recently found new employment and am working about 2 jobs.

Aside from the excitement with getting a new job and training, there have been quite a few requests for a PocketFlock with the recent 1.2 betas .

While I haven’t released a new version, rest assured there will be one soon.

Edit: This was/is an April Fools joke, the attached PocketFlock version does use Trident (via the IETab extension) and is really just a horrible joke.

After constant issues with stability, performance, and other issues related to working with so much different code for two platforms, I’ve come up with a solution that will put PocketFlock way ahead of all other portable browsers.

I’ve replaced the buggy and unstable Gecko Rendering engine for Microsoft’s tried-and-true Trident rendering engine!

Yep! this is the same engine that powers the worlds most powerful and prevalent browser Microsoft’s Internet Explorer.

This means that your portable browser will be safer, faster, and better integrate with your system.

Unfortunately (for some) this means that I will no longer support the fringe operating system Mac OSX, and nonstandard badly coded websites won’t render correctly, but those are small sacrifices to make.

I’ve tried it, and my personal use was the only reason that I even created a Mac release, but every new version seems to cost far more money than it’s worth and the system is buggy and riddled with problems.

So dropping OSX support and Gecko should help me make releases faster and easier.

Ok Nomads, I’m back for another entry.

Once again, finding that useful piece of software that keeps your browsing experience small, simple, and enjoyable.

Today I’m not just reviewing an old favorite of mine, I’ll tell you a little bit about why it’s important.

I’ll be honest here, in this more modern version of the web, FTP seems to be forgotten for fancy uploaders with pretty graphics built in to most websites and it’s hardly used now by the general public.
