End The Killing Now

I do not want to be in the wrong side of the moral equation when it comes to extra-judicial killing. When one is feeling helpless, remember that keeping level headed is important. The most important element of a nation is its people,yet our president sanctions outright murder. That is not acceptable in any civilized society.

Free your mind. Open your eyes. Your friends are being killed. Your mother is afraid everytime you go out. She is fearful of your father going out at night. The knock on the door is no longer welcome. The world is full of violence and death.

We gave away our peace to a tyrant with bloodlust in his eyes. We shall be going from bad to worse, spiralling downward to the bottom with his every bad decision. More people will die and it won't be a faceless, unknown but a friend or a loved one.

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:
