Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help

"You Can Come To Me"

The icon shows 4 characters namely: Mary, Mother of Jesus, the Child Jesus, Archangel Michael and Archangel Gabriel.  We see Jesus clinging to his mother alarmed by a vision of his Passion.  The angel Michael is carrying a lance and sponge.  The angel Gabriel is carrying a 3 bar cross and nails. 

If those two angels don't scare a 6 year old I don't know what will.

But the most striking impression to me is Mary's eyes.  Her hand is holding her child but her eyes are looking at the viewer.

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.
