Property tax and Deadlines 2017

Hi Reese

No news yet on the Property tax and the new number for the "house" part of the property tax/ municipal property tax. They gave a new number and retired the old one but they promised that the estimated value of the property will approximately be the same. No new number yet as of today. The deadline for payment of the property tax is today for the 2017 year. So we are in limbo.

April 2017 ushers in a new phase. Simeon is leaving us. We are terminating the contract on R6. Mina will be renovating the house formerly known as R6.

I have not implemented a hard rent increase this year 2017. For new tenants I have charged a new higher rent for them. Is there a need? Yes there is a need. If I want to ensure property maintenance and upgrade in the coming years, I have to increase rent. If I want to ensure continuity of operations in the coming years, yes I have to increase rent.

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:
