Jul. 9th, 2008 10:06 pmNot particularly exciting for anyone but me, however, I have the following items of interest to report under Wine 1.0, which came out not horribly long ago.
Wine is the Windows Emulator. It used to sound like this: "Why isn't my [program name here] working?" Probably that's why they called it Wine.
Anyway, it's better now.
Irfanview: yes. Nicely, even. YAY! (I like irfanview. I do not so much love Gimp that I forgot about irfanview, which remains my first love for image processing.)
Jwpce also works beautifully. Yay!!
Jwpce is important because rewatching Hikaru has made me interested in slogging through more 星の館. I haven't looked at that stuff in ages, since before we sold the internet, so totally a blast from the past, there. I'm blaming it on Hikaru, but there is no way that the squeaky-clean and charming Hikaru story has thing one to do with Sumiya and Sakurai and all the rest of the crowd in that manga but for some reason, I am moved to revisit my limited grasp of written Japanese and the delights of picture-reading.
Happily, it's copiously illustrated, has fairly simple stories, and, thoughtfully, contains a lot of porn dialogue that I can actually read. (Culture varies from country to country, but porn dialogue is surprisingly cross-cultural.)
I should take notes so that I don't have to redo the damn things every time I renew interest. Yeah. That'd be a good idea.
