It would appear that X11 Intel on my MacBook doesn't work due to a problem with the windows not coming to the front as expected. This was fixed in Mac OS X 10.4.3, and is now there in 10.4.6 Intel. Is anyone else getting the problem?
I need X11 for using OpenOffice 2, and it is a bit of a pain.
Finally the chat in Google Mail now has been added to the various othere languages supported by Google Mail. It's just ashame that the web clips haven't been enabled in English (UK) as well. They are great.
Is it any wonder people go about pirating MS product? Their licensing is so complicated I just take one look and run away, it's that complicated. Now there putting anti-piracy software into their MS-products. One week later and OpenOffice is starting a switch campaign. I have also added the getOpenOffice.org logo to my blog.
From http://www.nectar.com/dynamic/estores/nectar/home It appears that you can gain nectar points through some very unsuspecting places such as the apple store, direct line, iTunes, amozon.co.uk, dell, PC World.
It appears that you use the above page link to get into the store, then you have no reference whatsoever about the fact that you will gain nectar points thoughout your shopping experience. That is the most annoying and strange bit. It would be better if you could enter your netar card number at the checkout of the relevant store, with a confirmation that you will earn nectar points.
In trying to create JavaHelp Documentation, I have found that the following software to be useful. http://sourceforge.net/projects/jhelpmaker It is a new Open Source project available on sourceforge, that looks like it has a lot of potential.
It appears that when I originally tried to move to blogspot, the blogspot servers were down. Publishing there is a lot faster, and produces better HTML.
I've had enough of Lycos, so I'm moving away from them. Their mail is so slow with irritating pop-up ads. The web space is OK, but produces bad HTML and irritating pop-ups. I'm migrating this blog over to the google space too.
Further to my prevous blog, I managed to fix X11 to it's former glory by removing the X11 user receipt and installing it again. I then used Pacifist to install the update from 10.4.3.
I am now left with the annoying X11 behaviour, even after reverting to my backup of the X11 files, so I take it that there is some hidden config file somewhere. Hopefully I'll be able to get the Apple X11 behaviour (windowing environment) back soon as I miss it.
A few other notes though.
You need to install X11 through your Tiger DVD. Then, if your using a machine that came out with a version of Mac OS X before 10.4.3 run the 10.4.3 updater. There are numberous reports about the fact that 10.4.4 does not contain the update for X11.
