I Am Going Back to Keto

I need to get back to my diet regimen. That involves eating macro
nutrients in specific ratio. I have a body fat of 29% and that's high.
I need to reduce that to below 22%. I really like how my muscle mass
"look" now. The problem is that most of that muscle mass is really fat.
The real danger in having a high body fat number is the location where
my body stores it. A male body usually stores all that fat around the
mid torso or the belly. A lot of studies suggest that accumulation of
fatty tissue very near the vital organs isn't healthy at all.

So regarding my macronutrients or macros, I have calculated that a
daily calorie intake of 1,800 - 1,900 should be the norm. I exercise
daily and burn about 600-700 calories per session. My macros are:

25% Protein 112 grams - 118 grams daily
70% Fats 140 grams - 147 grams daily
5% Carbohydrates 20 grams - 23 grams daily

A ratio of 5-25-70 should move my body to use my fat stores instead of
sugar.

A typical meal would be 2-3 large egg/hardboiled/fried, 3 oz of tuna,
80 grams of ground pork/beef and 2-3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive
oil. Add green leafy vegetables, flaxseeds and avocados.

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:
