X in effect I finally figured out where I was running astray in my efforts to install Xfree86 4.1 under MacOS X last week. It turns out that there is an additional file called Xquartz.tgz that I had failed to download. Once I downloaded it and ran the Xinstall.sh script again it ran like a charm. Now I just need to track down a decent window manager and install GIMP. Looks like darwinfo.org has a nice listing of X Windows ports and I think Fink supports a few as well. Time to do a little exploring later. 3:24:00 PM     Busy Day Lots of family stuff yesterday. My dad's mom's side of the family had a little reunion at Comstock Park just up the hill. I also got to see talk to my cousin Brian for the first time in a couple years. It was nice to catch up with him and get his current email address. He's also working on starting up his own company, 4-th Realm. I'm really interested in hearing how that process goes for him. After the reunion Mary and I went out to my mom's to visit and also to show my sister Kristen one of the new iBook's. We ended up watching part of the video I made of her graduation and helping with a little landscaping as well. Now it's time for bed. I've got a fairly important meeting in the morning and I need to be ready for it. 12:00:00 AM
