September Is Pivotal

The number of new Covid cases at least in the Capital City, is peaking and recoveries are showing that vaccinations are helping. I am preparing Mother for her second dose which might be scheduled at the end of next week. Meanwhile, Jansen & Jansen released a statement regarding their single dose vaccine which was what I got. They are recommending a booster shot after 6 months. Which leads me to ask why they made it a one-dose vaccine in the first place. 

Isko and Bongbong Marcos both announced their intentions to run for President of the Philippines in the election of 2022. I wont vote for any of these two. Both are weak on morals and opposition to Duterte policies. If you're considering any Marcos candidate for any position in government, you should have your heads checked. The viable candidates for me are Leni Robredo, Antonio Trillanes IV and Leila De lima (who as I write this, is still in jail for investigating Duterte). 

The 2022 Elections for the Presidency is very important because Marcos is trying to come back to power, Duterte is trying to avoid justice, corruption and ICC investigations, and getting Leni Robredo and the opposition back in power is key. If the elections are free and clean then I have faith in Filipinos to vote for decency and a clean government.

September 30 is the last day to register for the elections. New voters should take time to go the COMELEC offices in their municipalities. It is again that time to exercise our power to choose leaders who will serve the people and the country, first and last.

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:
