Plain Text to HTML

I have switched the format for email composition to html from plain text. It is for the simple reason of convenience. The dpool zfs filesystem is degraded because one of the drives is returning "too many errors" status. I ordered new SATA cables. I also ordered new compact lights. I am hoping to solve the drive degradation by using more reliable SATA cables with locks. 

A certain Camile Samarista sent me a message about my PLDT Home payment last June. That there was an error. I checked my bills and there seems to be an item I can't explain. It seemed like I got my service back even if there is a question with my payment. My bill is now in question then. I did not receive an email for my April and May bills. I only got my July email for the bill and I can't explain the gap in the bill.

It has been a month since I applied for Home Unli fibr from PLDT. The application is still in progress. I have to check that again. I also remember that I applied for my credit card at BDO last June also a month ago. I have not heard from the bank yet. The Home Unli Fibr plan 1699 is a fiber optic connection that promises 20 Mbps speeds and no caps in usage. No installation fees to be collected. I could get a landline and / or a smart TV. If I like the plan I could upgrade to 50 or 100 Mbps.

Password Issues On Ubuntu Login

I found myself unable to enter my login credentials when prompted to do so in Ubuntu. I think I might have changed it then forget about it. I've been running the current session for more days than I should have. I forget. So what's the solution to my problem. How do I get in to my system now? It involved getting into the grub menu somehow. I am uncertain as to how to do that exactly in your system. So there's a couple of ways to do it (finger's crossed). When booting at system start, use the esc key or the shift key. The first one worked for me. The timing is key. Wait until the bios banner shows then hit the esc key once. I am using Ubuntu 22.04.4 here. I have a current version of grub. The grub menu will give you options and the one you want is: root. Yes you want root privileges to set the root password. It should give you a terminal access where you can issue commands. Type: #mount -rw -o -s remount / ==> this command mounts the filesyste...

Reflections On My Blogging: Keeping It Honest

When you're facing a white, blank screen trying to decide what to write, it seemed hopeless and hopeful at the same time. It's like watching a boat with its sails unfurled but there's no wind, yet you wait and then see the tide turning. You have to stop the distractions. Shut the door. Wait until your breathing is regular and your mind relaxed, like your wrists on the table infront of you. I imagine me looking sideways but not hearing anything. The sounds come much later. I see the big mass of color first, the greens. Just the vegetation, moving, not even individual trees, not leaves, just the big green. Then behind it the blue sky, unfocused and floating. Do not concern your brain with the details. Forget the words and the punctuations. But be mindful of the flow, trace the outlines, hear the motions. Sometime these things don't have a name, give it a name. How do you give something a name and still be honest? How do you keep your writing honest? I...

Webapps in Unity

So it has been 4 months since Ubuntu 14.04 came out. This is LTS and supported for 6 years by Canonical. The first mobile device with Ubuntu pre-installed is promised to come out later this year, 2014. It's time to check out how the apps perform so far. It is a good idea. I use Gmail and Twitter and Facebook. Why not a webapp in a desktop? So I start the Twitter and Gmail webapp. So far it has crashed my computer 6 times. Not a very good sign. On the other hand it does work but not as stable as opening them in Firefox. -- Use my PGP key if you want to encrypt your replies/messages to me.
