A Review of Mindhunter Season 1

I'm watching Mindhunter for the second time. It's a broad stroke of fiction on how the Federal Bureau Of Investigation utilize Psychology and Criminal Behavioral Science in their investigations. As it tells the story of three people pursuing the dark logic behind the criminal mind, the series followed their family histories as well as the real people in their case files. The blending of fiction with the criminal cases as well as the historical background makes the plot tenable. I like the choices of music as well.

It stars Jonathan Groff as Holden Ford, Anna Torv (Wendy) and Holt McCallany as Bill Tench. I remember Anna Torv in the mind bending series Fringe. Holden played by Groff was a hostage negotiator and FBI instructor. Tench was a mid level FBI man who goes on the road helping local sheriff departments on tough cases. Wendy came from the academe. All of them were highly interested in the violent sociopaths of society. Additionally, I want to mention that Cameron Britton is outstanding playing Edmund Kemper, a real life serial killer. Great casting overall.

Mindhunter is not a whodunit. In the series, we know who the serial killers and they did it. If you are interested in a bit more thinking and wanted to know why they did it, this is the Netflix series for you. I highly recommend it.

Season 2 is ready 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:
