Health and Medicine (also Supplements)

I am on my hypertension medications. I take Losacar 50 which is a combination amlodipine and losartan blood pressure lowering combo.

I am taking omega 3 fish oil EPA DHA 2000 mg daily. This addresses high blood pressure, high triglycerides and joint inflammation. It is working because my fingers and elbows are fine now.

I am on Metformin 500 mg twice daily. I believe I could increase it to three times daily if I want. I want to watch for high blood sugar levels and my overweight situation.

I am taking cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) with Menaquinone (MK-7).

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.

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.
