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.

We closed on a new house today. Now it’s time to set up all the services. Services include GPL, Atmos, Spectrum, Pool, Yard and Alarm. We are also getting the fence replaced and a new porch put on. We need to sell our old house now and schedule a moving truck. Looks like we are
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.
