Milestones 2016

NASA wants you. Yes you can send your resume and apply at NASA for Mars
duty. They want to hear from you and get future astronauts for long term
space vogages. I think you have to convince them that you are 10 for 10
for this trip because it would cost around 55 Billion and cover at least
a decade.

that's why.

The former Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos was hastily buried in
the Libingan Ng Mga Bayani after a Supreme Court decision to allow such
was handed down. This event is a partial reversal of the People Power
Revolution of 1986 when the military, police and civil society staged a
revolution to remove Marcos from power. It gives his heirs some
political room especially his son Bong Bong Marcos who ran as a VP
candidate.

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.
