Flock on Linux

I recently installed Flock on my Ubuntu box and have run into more problems than I would care to. First and foremost, it is a pain to install, requiring you to work from the command line. N ow I am no stranger to bash, but I generally do not use it in Ubuntu (there is something ironic there I am sure). Whatever it is, it just didn’t want to work for me. Once I had it installed, Ubuntu did not want to accept it into program files so I had to do a little back end lo-fi wizardry to get it to behave as one. Once I was up and running everything seemed to be humming along fine until I got to what is at the core of Flock: bookmarks. For some reason Flock will just not hold onto my bookmarks in the favorites bar. It posts them to del.icio.us just fine (which becomes an annoyance as I post over and over again trying to fix the problem. I will keep working on this for a bit, but in the meantime it seems that Firefox reigns supreme on Linux.

    This is the weblog of Kit Kemper. It is generally about marketing. Marketing in the sense that pretty much everything you do as a company and more often as a person these days devolves into marketing of some sort or another. It is also about tech in much the same way as it is about marketing, technology touches more of our lives every day and where people, marketing, and technology converge there are some pretty interesting things happening.
