Goodbye Christopher

Anthony and Jasmin were here tonight. They were getting Mom to sign for
an authorization to transfer Tita Fely's remains to the family plot
also in Paraiso. So Mom signed and I gave them the title to the plot
and a pair of Mom's ID cards. Anthony will have to go to Paraiso's
offices in Sta LUcia.

Christopher died on the 4th and services are ongoing at Nuestra. This
is around the back of the church shrine in Guitnangbayan. He is the
eldest, Anthony is the middle child and then Karla. They still have
their father, Tito Atong.

These kids' mom, Tita Fely, took care of me and Lino when we were pre-
school. I remember listening to the FM radio with her. we mostly listen
to Beatles songs and OPM songs. Tita Fely was in her early twenties.
She's the youngest among Mom's siblings. Mom's father died in the war
and Lola remarried.

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.
