Keeping Uptodate with Geary

My personal laptop runs on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and I use Geary to work with Gmail accounts. I recently run into an issue of Geary not deleting email messages from Inbox and generally being sluggish with getting new mail. I checked and version of the application is \“0.12-dev\“. The currently released version is 0.12.3.

Sphinx Comments Deployment

August 3, 2018 I have setup Shinx documentation system for work. We used Read the Docs Sphinx Theme. I decided to add publically available comments to the system. My major restriction is to limit amount of used technologies on the server to reduce chance of breaking the server with installation of new dependencies. It is largely a self-imposed restriction influenced by a set of particular circumstances at work. We currently use IIS Server to run .

Sphinx Theme Customization

Sphinx has some good themes, but customizaiton is a bit limitted. For example, it seems to be not possible to add comments to existing sphinx_rtd_theme theme. So, I had to figure out how to use a custome theme embedded into the project itself. Here is the process I used with sphinx_rtd_theme theme.
