It's an odd thing, being a free user...
I guess it's a good thing I didn't ask about going to Summer Camping. Turns out that anti-depressant medication doesn't mix so well with alcohol. As you might have gleaned from the previous statement, I had my appointment with the doctor today. Wherein he confirimed that I do indeed have depression, and (with my permission) put me on Paxil. Whee!
With calyx, I have decided to mostly forego a client library. What, you ask, will the application authors create their interfaces in? That's a simple answer, though. Postscript.
For those that understand what it means, I'm reimplementing NeWS. Only, I think I can make it better. But it'll still have the extensibility that NeWS had. And if I play it just right, I can get network transparency for free. That in particular isn't a very important function (really, how often do you run remote X11 apps? compared to the number of apps you run?), but it's nice. And it'll be better than X. (Though, shitting on a plate is better than X.)
1. This is what NeWS (in this case, SGI's 4Sight) gave us in 1988
2. This is what X11 (SGI's IMD - for consistency and effect) gives us today
Which is worse?
This arrived while I was checking my email over lunch:

Hi Everybody,
I don't have a good way to contact all of the second year students so I am
using old class lists. You might get this twice. I have a lead on a coop for
Fall that is appropriate for someone with just one year of classes. It is here
in the Rochester area and you can live in on campus housing while on coop.
Please let me know if you want more information.

Attentive readers know that I haven't been a chemistry student for a touch over six months. I should ask about them, just for shits.
