spent the night yesterday adjusting the look and feel on my blog as well as adding in the sidebar. looks a bit better now, and it’s actually possible to navigate! though I’m still missing the post navigation, hopefully il fix it up soon. im still not so sure on the current “design” im using, wish my design skills were a bit better.

for the past few weeks, iv been using flock 2 beta as my browser. the more i use it, the more annoyed im getting with it. the UI isnt as nice as the rest of my mac apps, the top bar is insanely cluttered, the youtube media stream messages make it impossible to play a youtube video, the twitter sidebar is utter crap; it never updates and the user flow isnt the best. the idea for the browser is brilliant, i like the idea of being able to drag images from the media bar into a textarea, its nice having twitter right in your browser. the idea’s are all good, but the flocksters have implemented them poorly (yes, i know i use the beta. i should expect bugs, but i get the same problems in flock 1). the flock team seem to be pushing more new features in releases rather than bug fixes and improvements on old features, i guess this is what to expect when projects become commercialised, the dark force of money and greed take priority over a decent product. flock fail.

btw, wrote this post from the wordpress iphone app, nice to use though not so desirable for long posts.
