Part 2 Doctor's Visit 2024

The last time I was with my doctor, she ordered some procedures done.
Lipid panel, SGPT, fasting glucose, urine and x-ray. I decided to call
up my health insurance and schedule my Annual Physical Exam. APE.
2023's aortic calcification "comment" by the radiologist is gone. My
Triglyceride is high, HDL is low. Fasting blood glucose is north of 6
mmol/l. I am obese II. Not good.

My SGPT is 80 (normal is 49). This results tell me my metabolic
syndrome is back. Insulin resistant, fatty liver, increase adiposity
around the waist and so on.

What works, what's best? Low carb diet. Intermittent fasting. Choline
from eggs. Milk thistle and flax seeds to restore glutathione.
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. I'm going to try
NAC and garlic too.

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.
