A Weight Loss Plateau and Self-assessment

I've been messing with my dieting for the past 3 days. I am eating more grams of carbohydrates in the form of milk, bread and crackers or a combination of all three. I am eating carbohydrates above the 50 grams allocated for each day. I am doing it to see if my body will react negatively with any of my health markers. I have mentioned the blood pressure spike yesterday. But the number subsequent stayed flat the next day. I guess just like everything else my body follows the laws of physics. It tries to maintain its direction and rate of motion. For a while, that is. I don't want to have to find out how long that is.

My weight loss seemed to be stuck around 76-77 kilograms. It looks like a plateau. I am eating at 1100-1200 calories this week. Could my metabolism slowed down considerably to outpace my weight loss plan. I am considering a reset of my plans.

If I do reset I want to reset UP. Around 1500-1600 calories. Continue with a ketogenic diet.

A ketogenic diet means the lowest possible carbohydrate intake without dropping vegetables, turmeric, flaxseeds, sesame seeds, sweet potatoes and a few other foods in the whole foods website list of highly nutritious foods. I don't want to leave out foods that are nutrient dense. This rule works fine for me so far.

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:
