The Four Best Ways to Sit at Your Computer
Looks like I need to get out the ball again – my back’s been bothering me.
Rock on. I loved Flock except for the stupid bookmarks “collections”, and suffered through it until FF2 came out.
Now just happened to need to test something in flock and grabbed the newest build from their tinderbox system and low and behold, it’s based on FF2 now (rather than 1.5).
I see happy days for me and Flock again – we shall see if my essential extensions work in Flock, and if so I’m sold…

You know, like the one Apple does during a keynote or whatever?
It’s easy with mod_rewrite – just add the following in a .htaccess (if your host supports that…)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/backsoon.html$
RewriteRule ^.*$ /backsoon.html [L]
and every page that is not /backsoon.html will be temporarily replaced with the contents of backsoon.html
Don’t forget if you have images/css linked into backsoon.html, you’ll need to add a RewriteCond to except the rewrite.
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !/images/yourheader.png$
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !/css/yourcss.css$
Here’s the whole thing :
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !/images/yourheader.png$
RewriteCond ${REQUEST_URI} !/css/yourcss.css$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/backsoon.html$
RewriteRule ^.*$ /backsoon.html [L]
