Buddycloud Mobial Social Location

Simon and Ross (and other whom I haven’t met) have a public release of Buddycloud.  It is a cool little app for your Mobile (Nokia Smart Phone or other Symbian) that keeps track of where you have been and lets you update your status and even hooks into Facebook.  It uses special black magic from the Mobile phone network to know when you get back to the same place or suggest new places for you.  Also it works as a living phone book that your friends can update and you can know, where they are, where they are heading, what they are doing, and how to get in contact with them.

I need more friends on this to make it more usefull!

Flock 1.0!

It is here, the Flock 1.0!

Now you can just browse the web and have your friends and Media with you wherever you go.

It works differently for different people, if you are a super power social media user it makes your life easier.  If you are like me and think stuff is fun, but have difficulty remembering to login to Facebook and your email box is way too full to pay attention to Flickr, now your notifications are just part of you daily user experience.

All the old Flock favourite features are still there, the ability to store referenced notes, the blogger, drag and drop.

But now it is even easier to actually find stuff and more things than every before just work.  Try it out.  It is a good .0 piece of software and once you use it for a week you miss your connections to everything else on the web when you are using another browser.

This is a little demo

This was my favourite part of CA-20

0.5.14 Security

We are busy working on 0.5.14 comming out very shortly.

It doesn’t offer any new features over 0.5.13, but it does include the security fixes from Firefox 1.5.0.2, snapshot downloads are available.  Looks fine on Winodws and Linux, but Mac seems to have developed some UI problems.

Once an official 0.5.14 is release user of 0.5.13 will recieve auto-update notifications, you will not recieve this if you are running a development build.

 Release candidates 0.5.14 RC2 are up:

This is a simple test

Again a test of 0.5.14

subversion conversion

We are switching source control systems once again.  We are back to subversion.

 Most of the migration is mostly done. http://svn-mirror.flock.com/websvn is the place to peruse current flock code.  If you want to check it out, then svn://svn-mirror.flock.com/master/flock/branches/buzzard is the URL to checkout.  The fbuild docs have been updated.  There is even a new version of fbuild-initialsetup.sh optimized for being used by people with anonymous access to the source code.

We are currently using subversion, though I don’t know how final our setup is, as not that many people have been checking in code yet, so there may still be some changes in our setup.  Times for commits still need to be updated, how we layout are source code is still in flux, getting the right access for people is still being worked out, commit messages still need to be fine tuned.  But we currently are building our tinderbox out of subversion, and changes done by developers are making their way in.

MacTel

Some people have asked "what is up?" with  Flock on  Apple Intel Macintosh machines.

First Flock 0.5.12 runs just fine under  Rosetta.  Honestly it runs just about as fast under Rosetta as it does on any other Macintosh.  Also currently, post 0.5.12 code in subversion builds and runs natively on Intel x86.

We do plan to eventually offer Universal binaries.  We will follow Mozilla’s lead on this, after they release 1.5.0.2+, we will use the system that Mozilla is using documented at: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Mac:Intel.  So assuming we have some MacIntel boxes in house dedicated for testing, we will probably have testing builds some time in May 2006.
