My new favorite browser has got to be flock, I usually have the meda bar up top up displaying a live feed of HDR images from flickr.
To make things better, I’ve just discovered PocketFlock, we are not allowed to install applications at work so I have a full sweet of applications I’ve downloaded from portableapps.com, including firefox stashed in the My Documents folder on my work computer. I strongly dislike IE and refuse to use it even at work, (now if only I could get them to let me switch my work machine to Linux)
PocketFlock also requires no instillation to function and gives me all the features of flock while not needing to be installed on my work computer.
I strongly believe this is the direction ALL software manufactures should be heading can you imagine how much easier it would be to do a bare bones restore on a crashed system if all applications did not require to be installed? This is one of my absolute favorite things about OSX NO REGISTRY. want to back up your appications? just drag the /Applications directory over to your backup medium. need to restore it? Drag it back! So simple!
So Please by all means go get your hands on PocketFlock now and check out this wonderful browser! This very post was written via the “Blog this” right click menu from within pocket flock.

If your a regular reader of my blog you already know I’ve Jailbroken my iPhone. I try and keep the software I run fairly up to date so I’ve visiting installer.app quite often to check for new updates. We’ll recenlty I’ve discovered a few nifty programs on the “Featured” section as soon as you launch installer.app, Wallpaper, Collage, and Tap Tap Revolution to name a few, but by far my new favorite is Twinkle.
Hello? Where are you?
Twinkle is a native Twitter client (yes you HAVE to have a jailboken phone to use this application). No more wasting txt messages to update Twitter, but whats really neat about this little beauty is that its location aware, meaning when you write a Tweet you have the option of having it display your current location. the downside? only users viewing your twitter updates on another Twinkle enabled iPhone can see your location.
Which honsetly is fine with me, I’m just jazzed at having a easier way to update tiwtter while on the go. The location feature is just a bonus.
But wait! Theres more!
Thats right they didn’t stop there they also added the ability to link a picture to your twitter post, but! again, the image can only be seen by another Twinkle enabled iPhone, other users can still see the text but not the image or location data attached to the tweet.
So what do I need to get Twinkle?
Easy! All you need is the following
- A Jailbroken iPhone
- Add “http://www.polarbearfarm.com/repo/” to your sources
- Sources Icon
- Click “Edit”
- Click “Add”
- Add above URL
- Then Twinkle will be on the Featured page at the beginning of installer.app
- If not simply click “Install > All Packages” and scroll down to the “T” section you’ll see Twinkle there.
