Enemy Territory: Legacy

ET Legacy

Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (RTCW:ET or ET)is one of a few games that I regularly play in the past 10 years. Well, I have not been playing ET using my own account for the past 13 months because the binaries are not fully compatible with OS X Mavericks, starting with the Developer Preview 1.

Just a few weeks ago, my colleague told me that new build of Enemy Territory: Legacy is working fine on OS X Mavericks.

Enemy Territory: Legacy is:

Open-source team based FPS game compatible with Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory™

Shortly after I am now back on the game. My colleagues and I can be found at ETForever.com.

Mobile Safari and Journalism, or the lack of it.

Mobile Safari

The New York Times Bits published an interview with the person who claimed to be responsible for the development of the first iPhone App, namely Mobile Safari.

John Gruber has a different take on it.

Judging by my inbox, an awful lot of coffee was spewed in Cupertino today upon reading Tolmasky’s self-aggrandizing description of his role in Mobile Safari’s creation. There’s a difference between “the developer responsible for the first version of mobile Safari” and “the developer who claims he was responsible for the first version of mobile Safari”.

UPDATE: Said one long-time trusted source: “He definitely was NOT the lead on the project and several other engineers made far more significant contributions.”

Personally I have been taking what news organization published with a grain or a boulder of salt.
