The Big Round Table Spun Back to Life

We bought it right after we moved to our house in Maly. It is the first material investment made so that the new house would look normal.

Of course we had a television and a refrigerator. We don't have a dinner table. I think we ate in front of the tv.

After purchasing this big round table, our family ate together like civilized people.

BEFORE

AFTER

That was 1970. We grew old and dad passed away.

The six chairs that came with it is now ruined, damaged. They're in storage. I don't think they're salvageable. But I have this.

So I told M Roger, our friendly handyman to apply a fresh coat of varnish on the thing. He did more than that, I believe. And he's not yet finished.

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.
