Running Gear: Adidas Asweego

I ran a 9 kilometer -ish session today. My wearable lost signal and or just decided to just end the tracking. I didn't bring my phone which serves as my back up whenever one tracker is down. Anyway, Google Fit and Huawei Health have it at 8.49 plus 0.7 for a bit of a walk. I stopped to buy hot pandesal before proceeding home.

Adidas Asweego White / blue colorway size 44

I ran in sheepish ambivalence in the Adidas Asweego. I ordered a New Balance 880 online and the seller sent me these pair. I like the ride. The sole is well cushioned, the heel collar is protected and cushioned. I'm not a fan of the high heel collar though especially the pointed ones. Tends to rub my achilles. I like the lacing system. It is secure. There is no tongue. The upper just secures the ankle with a one piece upper which is cushioned. This kind of cushioned upper brings the question of water absorption. I don't know about using the Asweego in a long run. But we'll see.

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:
