flock and gdc

I've been using Flock as my primary web browser for the last several days, and I'm really digging it. Actually I'm using it now to post this blog. I tried it before and didn't care for it, don't remember why, but this time around I'm liking it. I would advise anyone with any kind of facebook, blog, webmail, etc to give it a whirl. It could still use some work on facebook and myspace integration, but it's better than the nothing you get from firefox, safari, camino, etc.

Also, yesterday I successfully compiled gdc support for Apples Xcode 3.0 compiler. Didn't test it out or anything, but I've never even gotten it to compile on my iBook, and it compiled in a matter of minutes on my MacBook instead of hours like on my iBook.  Build 5484 (Xcode 3.1) failed, but I have a reasonable hope that I will be able to tweak the makefiles and get it going. Even if i can't, i'm setting up an old computer with archlinux as a print server, since i can't plug my old ass printer into my macbook, so progress on ycurses should begin soon. If i get gdc working for the Xcode 3.1 build of gcc, then i'll whip up a package sans phobos/tango, and a phobos and tango package. since gdcmac hasn't been updated in over a year and still doesn't have support for leopard, i'll put it up until the main project gets updated, so people won't have to go through the compile mess i'm having to deal with.
