Running Safari on Linux?

Tuesday, February 17th, 2009
I must say before anything else that this is not guide to installing Safari on Linux. You can find one for installing Safari under wine here.

I want to ask if anyone has had success with this guide? I tried it and apart from succesfully loading the default home page I havent managed to load any other webpage - not even google - with it and the window has really bad graphical glitches all the time…

I would personally like to get this browser to run under Linux just to test my site with it - specially since one commenter here posted a claim that this site does not show correctly on Safari. So if anybody has had success just let me know what version of wine and safari you have and what extra measures you had to take, if any, to get it work correctly.

Apparently I’ve started living a half life

Thursday, February 5th, 2009
Lately I have been somewhat bored with my regular computer activities, programming, hacking, and such. Almost so badly that I decided that I needed something else to get addicted at or I would get depressed… So I decided to pick up my old hobby and passion: computer games - 1st person shooters that is.

Half-Life screenshot from very early in game when everything is just about to get really bad.

So I got myself a copy of Half-Life. Yes, some consider it old but I still love DooM, so age was not an issue - and there is a huge amount of games that I always planned to play but never got to. Half-Life is one of them and it has been reviewed excellent and also highly praised by most of my friends (well, one said it sucks). And it was mentioned to work perfectly with Linux+Wine.

So, it’s been 2 days since I started and I got hooked into it right away. Yesterday I in fact played it for several hours without any breaks - boy did my mouse hand hurt after the session :) So thats it for now, time for my other hobbies.
