I added a separate router – a WRT310n V2 to my ASUS Zenbook in the office. I run Android Studio over a VNC connection. I was having trouble reaching it from my wired connection which is connected to my main wireless router. I ended up setting a static route to the ASUS Zenbook from my
From the last post, it was necessary to pull the 5.7 tag instead of the latest because the latest was MySQL 8.0 had SSL enabled by default.

It’s just a few days away. Oct. 17th is the day. I’ll be running Lubuntu. That’s Ubuntu with a LXQt desktop. It’s super light-weight which is great for my MacBook Airs. They have 2GB of RAM, an I5 and a 64GB SSD. So Lubuntu is a good choice. I have installed the beta in a
I installed a new wireless router for this website. I bought it on e-Bay. It runs DD-WRT too like the old one except that it runs a more recent version. The newer version is not susceptable to the ‘heartbleed’ vulnerability like the old one was and is configured as a ‘repeater-bridge’ too. I was able
