EDIT: Sorry, I had one weird ‘-yes’ stuck in that first command a while back but have fixed it and this tutorial works again with copy/paste of commands. Sorry for any inconvenience. I’ll admit I should probably upgrade my printer but… it’s still alive so I won’t. Problem is that now it’s getting harder to install on Ubuntu. Hopefully this…

Reasons to Switch to Ubuntu Phone
Someone I know sent me this positive article about the ubuntu phone. I read it and it was nice, and probably one of the best ‘tech-focused’ articles, but as a few friends and I discussed after reading it, it’s missing some of the most important reasons why one would switch. Here are my list of reasons why one should switch:…
How to Use Owncloud Sync on Ubuntu Phone
Congrats! So you figured out the 20 steps to getting owncloud-sync on your ubuntu phone. The problem is … now what? How do you make it work? It took a bit of goofing around but here is what I figured out: Sync Files Do my tutorial (if it’s not in the software center when you read this) HERE Go to…
How to Install Jitsi on Ubuntu 16.04
Yes, this is the hard way but seems to be the ‘only way’ right now at the time of this blog. Always first check to make sure it’s not simply sitting in the software center before beginning this tutorial. No, I can’t figure out why the packages aren’t in the Ubuntu software centre. All I did to make this tutorial…
How to Install Nextcloud Owncloud App on Ubuntu Phone
Before you begin: Always first check in the stock ubuntu software center to make sure that it’s not simply available there first. As of the date of this post it is not, but I expect it will be there very soon. Do not proceed with this tutorial if there is a one click app in the software center 🙂 1…
How to Sync a Calendar Between Owncloud/Nextcloud and Thunderbird Lightning
For some reason this is not that intuitive the first time and there don’t seem to be many/any specific tutorials out there. I kept getting a ‘modification fail’ error message or other errors. So, here you go: In Nextcloud/Owncloud 1. Log in to your browser-based owncloud/nextcloud page 2. Go to the top left and click the down arrow to access…
Great Bible Habit: Bible in a Year
I realized years ago that believers live in a very imperfect world. We are fish swimming upstream and there is nothing that the enemy of our soul would love more than to keep us weak and ignorant of God’s holy Word. I knew that I had to find some form of ‘structure’ around my daily Bible reading. I found that…
How to Get Korean (Hangul) Working on Ubuntu 16.04
EDITED October 31, 2016 This tutorial might also work on Ubuntu 14.04, I haven’t tried yet. I love Ubuntu and I love Hangul but I’m not going to deny it – it’s not hyper-easy to get it running on Ubuntu, not because it’s super hard but because there aren’t any helpful blog posts out there to walk someone through it.…
What does Biblegateway.com, Zondervan, NIV, Gay Sex and Satan have in common?
Question for you disciples of Jesus out there: What does Biblegateway.com, Zondervan, NIV, Gay Sex and Satan have in common? As a recent website author I found this week noted, “Everything.” After meeting Jesus and being born again, I was given an NIV Bible. For a few months I read it like any other Bible. Then someone introduced me to…
Working with PDFs in Ubuntu
Ubuntu is by far the best operating system in existence. One of the things that hasn’t been broadcast around much is how Ubuntu is also awesome for business. If you run a business (or work in one) you will know that PDF files are one of the most standard documents that you work with, or would like to work with. …
