IEs 4 Linux

August 24, 2006

Wow.
This is simply incredible. Internet Explorer 6.0 can run on Linux. I was a skeptic, so I had to try it. Now I am a true believer.
Of course, that still doesn’t answer the question, Why? For me, however, it is to get more website compatibility and a higher version of Flash (Flash on Linux is [...]

World of Empires

August 22, 2006

(This is kind of a note-to-self type post).
IBM PC Empire Documentation.
I have been working on a Sourceforge.net project called “World of Empires” (visit it by clicking on the title of this blog post). Actually, “working” is not a completely accurate term. “Procrastinating” is a much better and accurate term. For those who don’t (care to) [...]

Fedora Core 5 Desktop (such as it is)

August 22, 2006

This is my Fedora Core 5 Linux Desktop (such as it is) from August 22, 2006. Fedora Linux is a great operating system, but installation is not for the faint of heart. However, there is a great user community available for it, and lots (LOTS) of information and FAQs to read and browse. It’s worth [...]

Fallout in DOSBox on Linux

August 20, 2006

Yes it’s possible, but only for Fallout 1 when installed as a DOS32 application (but Fallout 2 is Win32 only). I haven’t actually played the game yet, but I plan to. For some reason, I have not been able to get Fallout 1 or 2 to run under Wine 0.9.17 in Fedora Core 5 (fc5) [...]

Isaiah 8:16 is my new Theological Blog

August 20, 2006

My new theological blog is Isaiah 8:16 at isaiah816.blogspot.com and all theological discussion will now be found there. This Byroniac blog will retain all non-theological items of interest, mainly in the subject areas of computing and other personal interests. Postings that contain some elements shared in both (such as running e-Sword in Linux) might appear [...]

Running e-Sword in Linux

August 19, 2006

w00t! A chat friend introduced me to a website that shows you how to get e-Sword 7.7.7 working under Linux Wine 0.9.17. It works, too! I can’t believe it.

Taking a Stroll through the Old Testament

August 15, 2006

God has laid upon my heart a desire to study the OT. As a Christian, the NT has always had profound significance for me and my faith, and understandably so. However, I have come to realize that the OT is a treasure trove for believers, not simply of ancient and forgotten history, but also [...]

Moving back from Yahoo! 360

August 10, 2006

Well, that didn’t last long. Much as I like Yahoo 360, I am more comfortable here. So here I’ll stay for the time being.
