Tuesday, June 17th, 2008Not one but two major software releases to get excited about today, folks!
Firefox 3.0 and Wine 1.0! Yes, that’s right, you heard me… WINE 1.0. It’s finally been released!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Monday, December 24th, 2007For the confused, this is a screenshot of World of Warcraft running in Linux under Wine, which I have only been able to do after acquiring a new video card and then beating the Intel video drivers into submission.

She was supposed to have it in time to take to college with her, but now she’s at school [...]
