I was pointed to this by a friend. Scary. Very scary.

No Viruses Right Now, Please

ClamAV, my virus hunter for Linux, stopped working today, after an unfortunate update of it and LSB Base ("Linux Standard Base"). Therefore, please don't send any viruses my way until the fix is in place (the updates are supposed to be uploaded within the next few days; have a look at the bug report).

Weird XMetaL Bug in Wine

Up to, and including, wine 0.9.15-1, my installation of XMetaL crashes if I double-click somewhere in the writing area... I wonder if this is because of the reimplementation of the Internet Explorer Active X APIs in wine? I think I have to find a way to continue using Internet Explorer in wine, for now. Or downgrade to 0.9.11-1.

By the way, Internet Explorer doesn't start in wine 0.9.15-1 but you knew that, didn't you?
