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

Ubuntu 19.04 (Disco Dingo) does not have a package for MySQL Workbench. It was difficult to build from source. I don’t even remember what I did.

I had to install a new router for this website. I also host tombrehm.org too and citexas.site which is a test site for citexas.org. The old router was dropping packets randomly. I had another spare. The new one is faster and more reliable. I tried converting some pages to Gutenberg on citexas.site as wordpress suggested
I added a new widget. A translate widget. I also edited the last post to open Raeann’s worksheet in a new tab. I stood up today and stretched my arm out. I also held the bar underhanded and stretched my arm that way.
Today I added a new plugin from my WordPress training. It was BackWPup. As the name implies, it backs up my blog to Dropbox and sends me an email if that’s an error. Well, good news, we bought a new (old) house. It is three minutes from Susan’s office and is exactly what we wanted.
