I've applied the updates for Safari over recent days/weeks and unfortunately they haven't fixed the bugs that annoy me the most:

- showing the desktop hides Safari, but it always reappears for no reason
- CTRL+BACKSPACE doesn't delete the previous word
- clicking the icon in the task bar for running Safari doesn't minimise it

Safari is a terrible attempt at being a Windows application. I stopped using it a while ago and I still see no reason to try again.

Yes, I still can't bring myself to use it full time on Windows. I love it on OS X, but somehow they haven't captured that magic (yet) on the Windows version.

Not that I'm bothered really cos I hate windows ;-)

I installed the beta of Safari for Windows out of pure curiousity. It's a weird feeling! I wish Apple would release OSX for Intel PCs; I'd blow XP away in an instant. Or at least relegate it to dual boot for games. So far Safari is decent - I'm not seeing the raw performance that some people claim. My main complaint is that CTRL+BACKSPACE doesn't delete the previous word when typing this post. So far all sites I've visited looked good, though very reminiscent of Konqueror, which uses the same KHTML rendering engine. It failed to import my Firefox bookmarks, but I'll try that again. Let's see how it goes!

Reaper / FruityLoops and music. Metal!

I recently bought an M-Audio USB Fast Track device to connect my electric guitar to my computer. I also bought FruityLoops , or rather my brother bought it for me for Christmas and I upgraded it to the Producer edition. Since then I discovered an amazing shareware product called Reaper , which is another Digital Audio Workstation, or so they call themselves. It's extremely cheap, developed by (I think) the guy who wrote or worked on WinAmp and it's feature list is incredible. This is my first attempt at recording with Reaper: First Guitar Attempt Ignore my dreadful attempts at being a guitar virtuoso and forgive the fact I still live in the 80s!
