The Neighbor's Building and Mother

M Roger our carpenter and all-round repair man completed repairs and
cleaning of roof and gutters. The rainy season began a few weeks ago
and these repairs are needed for the rest of the year. He also removed
screens in the drain pipes so we can see the natural status of water
drains. We have been experiencing higher levels of water backed up in
the drain system during the heavy downpour.

The neighbors also began construction of their commercial and
residential building this week. (additional 8-9 feet of wall there)


Mom has been showing signs of forgetting what time of day it is. She
has been oversleeping a lot of times. She is 78 years old.

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.
