One Of the Vaccinated

I got my Janssen vaccine today at SM San Mateo after waiting for my turn since the Sinovac was made available here in the Philippines. The Philippines use multiple vaccines as soon as they arrive they are made available to local government which operates on a set of prioritized group of the population.

It itched and the nurse gave me an antihistamine. After 15 minutes they let go home.

The Janssen vaccine received its Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA last February 2021. It is unique among the available vaccines in that it is a single dose jab.

Other vaccines namely, Pfizer, Moderna and Astro Zeneca are administred in two doses. These cards are given to vaccinated individuals with details about their vaccines. At the back of the card there are two slots for the two doses. Mine will contain just one and it is sufficient to stop the virus from killing me or sending me to the hospital. Reports around the world confirm that these vaccines work and helps one to fight off infections.

In the Philippines, where there are supply issues, most are waiting for their turn to get the vaccines. At the vaccination site where I was, 1/3 of the people present are in the priority list while 2/3 are walk-ins. Walk-ins are people who want to get vaccinated but can't because their names aren't in the list.

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:
