Hi Reese

Since I last talk to you Mom and Imee talked on the phone. Maybe it's the season or maybe she knows that she's coming home soon, so she's giving instructions to her. I have been reporting regularly about the situation here and about the tenants. so she knows well enough to make some decisions. I get the word from Imee. Today a Meralco man came to disconnect service. Domer promised to pay on Monday the 18th. Domer also promised us that the rent would be paid on the 16th, Sunday. I am expecting that.

I wanted to tell you about Imee volunteering to take care of some people in need in the hospice. She's inquiring how it should be done and what the conditions are. She wanted to practice some of the training she received months ago. Some lonely people, old people in dire need of some assistance are living the remainder of their lives in houses re-dedicated to caring for them. So it's a volunteer job,free food and bed plus allowance.

Roger came home from Bacolod and I told him I have a job for him. Unit R-2 needs some paneling replaced, walls replaced and some cleaning done. I want him to check the drainage again. Roger can also nail up the ceiling. The wood is fine but years of weight took its toll and they need to be tightened down.

Mailvelope, Encryption for Webmail

Encryption is the topic of week. I wrote about it in a related post here. While encryption is a very good idea, doing it and doing it every day as part of your work flow is another thing. My view is that if you're already using an email client then it is easier, simpler and more convenient to adopt encryption. That is not the case if you're using a webmail service. If you are using the browser to check, compose and send your email, what are your options? The answer is: it's complicated. Looking for a way to do encryption with Google Chrome and Gmail, I found this. I also read that Google just released code for email encryption as open source. But it's a long way to being used by end users. The extension for Google Chrome works fine if the recipient also uses Google Chrome. But I went ahead and check this on Evolution.

Donald Trump Is The 45th President of the United States

     and he is preparing to move with his transition team into the Oval Office. His election is a shock to many political observers and the world in general. Donald Trump, the president-elect, ran against Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of State and for many the most qualified candidate for the presidency in many years. This has led to many post election analysis of how this upset happened. The numbers of votes for each candidate and the comparisons with previous presidential elections point to the fact that the white vote for Mr. Trump is solid all throughout but the minority and black votes did not come for Mrs. Clinton. This is what happened in crucial States like Michigan and Florida. The Republicans kept Congress and the Senate. It is quite notable that Russia and in particular, Vladimir Putin, is happy that they are going to talk to Mr. Trump rather than Mrs. Clinton. It is also a ...

Remembering Sesame Street

I was around seven years old when I saw Big Bird and her yellow feathers on tv the first time. Channel 9 airs Sesame Street twice a day for the kids who are having classes in the morning there's the afternoon schedule. The show is a hit. It captured us kids. We would shut up and sit on the floor once the familiar theme music starts. I wonder about the american street scene of course. It felt alien to me but the people and the muppets just made their home in my imagination. It didn't matter if we had muddy streets instead of the cobblestones. Years will pass and the locals will produce their own version of this show called Batibot. Why not? It's time we take back television for our kids. Who would have guessed that fast forward to 2012, Sesame Street will be mentioned prominently in a US presidential debate. One candidate was questioning the source of funding for these kind of shows. Try explaining money to a five year old and why he can't ...
