Assertion of Responsibility

The science of global warming and climate change has a lot of
open questions yet to resolve . This means a lot of research and
study to be discussed by scientists and validated in scientific labs
and controlled experiments. The equally mounting evidence to its
being a fact of science is undeniable now. Our generation is in
fact living its initial effects.

The major producers of carbon emissions are the manufacturing
activities of the economy. Our dependence on carbon fuel for our
cars and other vehicles and machines to produce our electricity to
power our homes and everyday activities put us, man, in the
center of this science.

Much like the controversy when Darwin first put out his theory of
evolution, global warming and climate change put us and science
too close to exercise our detached observations. A lot is at stake,
only the future of the world and its finite resources.

While most educated men adopts a positive attitude of recognizing
the conclusions of scientists and global experts, that is they submit
to a more green lifestyle change, some have expressed their denial
of what seems to be overwhelming evidence gathered by scientists.
What we should do now is to bring more science into the discussion,
what we should bring is more cooperation and sensible thinking,
what we should acknowledge is the tremendous responsibility
regardless of who is to blame.

Appindicator In Natty Ubuntu 11.04

Previously ranted about the blind alley Ubuntu 11.04 seemed to be leading us when it comes to some applications not being ready yet for the dropping of system tray.  What I should have done is press on. There are posts about editing a white list with a recommended GUI tool to help us out here , here and here . Like everything in Linux, there's a configuration file for it, if you can find it and if you have the inclination to go ninja. If not then there's dconf-editor. Download dconf-tools from Software Center. Navigate to desktop>unity>panel. Add your application in the white list. Then close the window. No save button. mmm. So far I have added Shutter, Dropbox and Keepassx in the white list.                Before...  After.

Evolution Mail on GNOME 3.26

There's a slight change in the user interface. A To Do column now appears to the rightmost after the GNOME 3.26 update. Also there's a noticeable stability increase, what with goa-daemon stopping its RAM usage creep. I don't have to kill it every couple of hours.
