No joy yet in getting Safari to run under Wine on Ubuntu, but I think I’m getting somewhere because it does at least try to start, which it didn’t with a default install. I’ll have to poke around a bit and maybe copy some of the folders from my Windows install to the .wine folder; maybe I can get it to work after all. In the meantime, I did finally get around to fixing another minor annoyance. If I’m at my desk, I prefer to use Thunderbird for email, and I’d had POP access to my Gmail Inbox for a long time, but since I got the iPhone, I’ve discovered that it would be convenient for everything to sync automatically, so I’d have copies of all messages, everywhere. If I sent it from the Thunderbird client on my desktop, I wanted to be able to access it on my laptop and iPhone, too (and never have to use the web interface, since it’s just short of horrible and pisses me off when I use the laptop, since it auto-refreshes and the small keyboard means I hit key combinations I don’t mean and Christ knows where the cursor ends up), and now I can. I removed my old Gmail POP account so I wouldn’t end up with duplicate messages in my Inboxes, and I don’t think there’s a way to use Global Inbox with both POP and IMAP accounts, but I don’t mind having it separate, and now everything is synced automatically with no need to forward a sent message to myself so I can access it somewhere besides my desktop client. I still need to set up Thunderbird for Gmail IMAP on the laptop so I can use that instead of the web interface, but that won’t take long at all. So…half a “yay”, I guess. Not full yay until I figure out Safari, but it’s Friday, and it’s sunny, and I just told B. how to text via email so he won’t worry about using his work phone for expensive messages just because he feels like saying “Hi!”, and I think the Great Deep Freeze is over because it’s going to be much warmer tomorrow (and 19C by next Tuesday!), so half a yay will do for now. 🙂
