I’m liking the Flock (http://flock NULL.com/) web browser. It’s pretty seriously redesigned, and includes a lot more support for various online services such as Ma.gnolia (http://ma NULL.gnolia NULL.com). It does have extra support for Myspace but not Facebook (http://facebook NULL.com), which is… odd. Nevertheless.

In setting up my new Ma.gnolia account, I discovered a problem with WordPress. Flock lets you blog straight from the browser interface, rather than logging into the WordPress site. Ma.gnolia, similarly, lets you post Ma.gnolia links straight from Ma.gnolia. This is pretty cool.

However, when I tried to set up this site to work in Flock, it consistently failed. Boo. Likewise, Ma.gnolia wouldn’t recognise the blog. Fortunately, Ma.gnolia gave a helpful error: 406 Not Acceptable

I looked at a number (http://wordpress NULL.org/support/topic/121259) of posted (http://www NULL.raymond NULL.cc/blog/archives/2006/08/12/fix-wordpress-not-acceptable-error-406/) fixes (http://stellify NULL.net/hacking-away/406-not-acceptable-and-apache-mod_security/), with no joy. The problem is with Apache’s mod_security (http://www NULL.modsecurity NULL.org/) plugin.  At last I resorted to my web host (http://hostdime NULL.com/)‘s tech support.  Within a couple of hours they cheerfully fixed the problem, and I was away.  Hurrah!
