Happy Easter and I Think It's My Birthday

Hi Reese

The renovations of the bathroom and the kitchen continues through the

holy week. M Roger is making sure the wall plaster is smooth. He finished

putting the black marble tiles on the tabletop. He's going to put the doors

to the bathroom tomorrow. It's Easter, no work. Oh by the way, it's my

birthday too, I think.

I woke up with the Salubong passing the house. I could hear the band

playing a march. The siren is wailing. When I got downstairs mom is washing

clothes and Imee is preparing pasta for the spaghetti.

I've been tinkering with my phone's lock screen security. There was a point

when I couldn't open the screen anymore. I had to ask for help with a 'forgotten

password' issue. They asked for my google authentication credentials then google

sends me a code through sms. My sms app is locked too. I can't get to the code.

The smartphone is a remarkable technology. What if a machine can handle millions

of calculations per second and store pictures, documents and everything else that

can be reduced to zeros and ones, share information with other machines, and last

but not the least, be portable enough so you can put it in your pocket. What's more

remarkable is I get to live long enough to see it for real.

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:
