8 November 2005 - Flock Blogs For All

Well,

I was just typing a FlockBlog in praise of the programme when it went t!t$ up and disappeared completely! That's what you get for saying how good it is. I think I'm more impressed with the link to Blogger. This looks like it might be fun.

I've just spent a couple of hours installing Open Office 2.0, God knows why, I hardly use 0.1% of OOo1.1.5 but I have a thing for dabbling with the new - hence Flock.

Anyway, I couldn't install it from Mandriva Club, something about the service being down. So feeling brave after installing Flock and not totally destroying my system, I downloaded it from Open Office org and followed the installation instructions. Lo and behold it works, well all but the Mandriva menu bit. I can't get icons into the menu, just white boxes. I guess I can live with that.
