My family got its first tv during the Apollo 11 launch.
That was July 1969 and it was a Zenith black and white
console. The whole family was mesmerized by a man walking
on the surface of the moon.

In my pc today is an application that captures rss
video, downloads movies and tv shows, and manages my multi
media files. Miro is an open source, multi platform video
manager. It has versions for windows, mac and linux. It
can play almost all video formats available in the internet. It
uses bit torrent for fast downloads. It checks for new
available episodes of your subscriptions. Miro checks
Youtube subscriptions (yours) and automatically downloads
them in your hard drive.

Miro might just be the killer application that open
source is waiting for to lift all other open source software
to the mainstream and more. Miro does this without DRM.

Get miro here.

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.

New Converge ICT Plan Max with Sky Now

I pulled the trigger on Converge Max plan 400Mbps with Sky channels. I went to their sales office and asked for the upgrade. No charge at all and they didn't ask me to return the old modem. It looks like they will pull it when they install the new modem.e     It came with a black box for the TV. The configuration is easy but it took me 3 days to figure out the Wired connection. It should be fine except I have to jiggle it in the config (GUI). Turn 802.1x  on and off to finally connect.  Here's the speed for the Wired connection:
