An Upgrade in Service (but not really) Converge X

This move was prompted last month when service went down for an exteded time - almost 3 weeks. Yes no Internet service for more than half a month. The repair crew finally found my address and that was the morning I had my big accident with my ankles. Anyways, they were able to bring up my connectivity that day. But I did visit their offices to either cut the service or change to a new plan. But they were able to solve the problem - good.

A month later and their marketing people are calling if I want to get the new wifi 6 modem and the entertainment box with it.


I filled up the application for the new plan that can save me 10,000 pesos yearly and get me my new wifi 6 modem.  And my mother's Samsung TV a bunch of channels she doesn't need. 

Did I mention that this plan brings my promised speed from 800 Mbps to 400 Mbps?  Never mind.

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.
