My Recipe For a Perfect Meal

I woke up after sleeping early last night. It went smoothly up to the time I fell to my soft bed again in my dream. Then I woke up around 6 in the morning. I went down to prepare my coffee and breakfast. I sat down and took my blood pressure monitor. I have 130/70 mmHg, 70 bpm. Mom entered the kitchen and prepares breakfast. I got the vegetables out.

Ingredients: romaine lettuce 7 leaves
cabbage 1 cup
bell pepper 1 cup
tomato 1 cup
cucumber 1 cup
mayo 2 tbsp
coconut oil / lauric 2 tbsp
fried egg 2

It's 20 degrees Celsius outside. Cold morning with a slight breeze. The sun is barely out. Mother is cooking fried rice and sardines. I'm making a salad. She's cooking fish. My coffee is black unsweetened. We sat down to drink our coffee cups. Her cup was with cream and sugar. We started to talk about school and the grandchildren who are far from us now.

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:
