X11.app Full Screen Background Image

I installed Apple's X11.app to use GIMP on my machine. I'm used to Photoshop, so the multiple window thing with GIMP was a little odd. Unlike other desktops, X11 (or at least Apple's version) does not click on an item on an unfocused window when you click the item. You have to click the window to focus it, then click the item. This made using GIMP a bit of a pain because I had to click 3 times just to change tools (once on the toolbar, once on the tool, then back on the editor). The simple solution was to turn on X11.app's mouse focus (type defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm true

There is always some amount of construction going on in Los Angeles. Since L.A. isn't confined by natural borders, the first inclination was to sprawl. This is why L.A. is so large, and is slowly assimilating areas that used to be distinct towns (e.g. Hollywood, Santa Monica, Compton). Essentially all of L.A. county is part of L.A. city, as far as I can tell. When New York City hit its boundaries, it started growing vertically upwards. L.A. seems to take a different approach. All the building projects I've seen recently grow vertically downward before they grow upward...

No One Knows Why My Clock Keeps Freezing in OS X. The following explanation may have helped, but I'm not sure yet: Macnn Forums. It seems to have done the trick. Or, at least, I haven't noticed it freezing.

Before I lash into this short rant, I want to mention that I had an ass kicking weekend. I hope for many more that are similar in the level of ass-kick-ed-ness.

And I finally got sick of having to double check my server every time I want to listen to music. I copied all my important files off of it. I plan on (hopefully) sticking this other drive in the eMac until I can get a 160 GB or 200 GB HDD. That will make a world of difference.
