Peace Forever

Market day found me ordering online at Puregold San Mateo. I also use SM Shop online but I like trying out other services for comparison of their pros and cons. Puregold took their time replying to my app order - about 2 days. You can lose a lot of customers that way if they're not as patient as me. But once they replied they pretty much tried to satisfy my item list failing just one until the last minute. The last moments I tried to add 2 to 3 items and they accommodated the request. 

The Community Quarantine was extended by a week. OCTA research recommended 2 weeks of quarantine to bring down the reproductive number or the Rt of the virus to at least 1. This will give frontliners control of the capacity situation in hospitals. But other opinions point out that farther restrictions in mobility and social interactions in public places have not worked and they add more suffering to people. 

We remember the events of Bataan in the War and honor those who sacrificed their lives for the defense of the Philippines. Say a prayer for the souls of all those who died in the war. May peace reign forever.

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:
