In too many cities, I have noticed how dull and boring their general atmosphere is.  Something is missing to make people  want to get out of their houses and stretch their legs, together with their families and pets.

This missing something is gardens and parks where children and pets can play to their hearts content.  Cities need a splash of green, and this is what Via Argentina has plenty of.  Our concrete jungles have to be transformed into garden-cities to enhance the quality of life of its dwellers.  “Elementary, my dear Watson, elementary.”

This is how Via Argentina looks like with its lush tropical vegetation.  Here we go.

If your city looks like a dull jungle of steel and concrete, do something about it.  Get involved with the community and plant grass, flowers and trees.  Write to your authorities and press them to make the cities green.  Your children and pets will appreciate your good deed.  Good Day.

Flock’s devs have worked on a new release of its popular social web browser.  The purpose of this latest version is to fix a problem with Flickr and several other issues.

This is what Evan Hamilton, Flock’s Community Ambassador, had to say about version 2.5.1:

Flock 2.5.1 is available today (July 28, 2009) from the Flock homepage. This release fixes the Flickr issue I mentioned in my previous post as well as several other issues.

You will have to manually update to 2.5.1 at this time by downloading and running the 2.5.1 installer from our homepage. We’ll be pushing out auto-updates as soon as we’ve had sufficient time to test the auto-update process across all platforms (don’t worry: manual updating is quick, safe, and clean). Please make sure you restart your computer after installing 2.5.1.

Thanks to all of you who brought this issue to our attention. As always, if you experience any issues in the future, please don’t hesitate to let us know by posting to our GetSatisfaction page. We’ve always got our ears on.

Our endless appreciation goes out to you for your patience during this period.

Needless to say, Flock has served me well since it was first released into the wild several years ago.  I also use Firefox on an “on and off” basis.  These two browsers cover all my browsing needs so far.  Good Day.
