Setting up Prestashop on an ubuntu server is doable and Digital Ocean makes it pretty painless. The background to this post is that I had a sudden need to ‘figure out shopping carts’. I understood from times past it probably isn’t wise to have a shopping cart that intends to scale on a shared cpanel host, even though it’s pretty…

How to do an Ubuntu Touch Video Screen Cast Recording
Making a video screen cast of your Ubuntu Touch (“UT”) device is a bit difficult as of the date of this blog post, however, thankfully, there is a way to do it with a bunch of scary terminal commands. This is pretty technical, but is probably the only way (for now) to do this. Special thanks to Amolith who forwarded…

How to use this Bmap Tool Thing…
So someone said ‘use bmap tools instead of dd because it’s faster and better’.It sounded good but as usual when I went searching for documentaion on how to simply use this tool I was left in another command line dizziness. You can check their read me file on the git repository here for yourself if you’d like. This blog here…
Fixing PrestaShop child theme upload fail
Just a quick post. To be totally honest, I haven’t had time to investigate if this is a filed bug or not, but I’m going to post this here to save others some headaches and also hopefully serve as a reference link for someone else if they want to file the bug officially (sorry, my bad). I tried to upload…
How to Import Shopify Data into Prestashop with CSV
Brutal. I spent probably 3 hours trying to figure this out so I thought I should spend about 10 minutes and write this quick blog post for anyone else who might hit this. I was testing out Prestashop (looking good so far!) and the aim was to move a new shopify account over to Prestashop to see how it goes.…

Here is my journey to see if I can make a basic Quasar app work on Ubuntu Touch. I should preface that I have never built an Ubuntu Touch app and I’m not even done my Quasar course but there are enough people interested in this so I want to stop everything and try… Quick Overview of Ubuntu Touch Apps…
Getting Started With Quasar and VueJS on Ubuntu
After watching this recommended tutorial I decided to try out this Quasar thing. My true hope is that we can eventually add Ubuntu Touch as one of the buildable outputs at the end of app creation as it apparently might not be that hard with Cordova… but I digress… I’m not an experienced developer yet so getting started with all…
Dismissing Firefox popups using Selenium and Python
In my new journey to figure out how to automate stuff in my life, one of the time-sucking adventures was to try to stop browser popups such as geolocation and notifications. I just wanted to click ‘ok’ or ‘dismiss’ and move on since this was my ‘bot’ instance of the browser. The issue with these browser-based pop ups is that…
HOW TO CLICK AN ITEM IN A SUBMENU (UL) LIST USING PYTHON, SELENIUM
I spent literally 3 days trying to simply click a logout link with Selenium. I searched every stackoverflow post I could find until I found this one. I had tried pretty much everything I could to try to click the logout link which was the fifth item down in the move-over list. I tried find_element_by_xpath, find_element_by_id, find this, find that,…
