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.…

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.

How to Easily Open a Terminal in Ubuntu
There are two ways: 1. FROM THE LAUNCHER ON THE LEFT On the left side of your Ubuntu machine you’ll see the vertical column of apps you can one-click open. Usually the terminal is here.

Tutorial: How to Make NextCloud/Owncloud Calendar Work on Iphone Ipod
Unlike my typical tutorial formats, this one will be a near copy/paste from an email I sent to a real person so that other real people can connect this to their real brain and emotions: Dear _____, I’m going to forewarn you that this email is dripping with anger/frustration so try to just plunder through it and even try to…
How to Change Default Contact List View in SuiteCRM in Account View
I love suitecrm. Freedom coding built by the community, super useful, and awesome for business. I’m going to start logging some stuff here that will maybe save some other people time, too.

EDIT 2020-06-19 Long time no edit! My instructions below still mostly work it seems (which is bad on Brother for not making this more simple – fail, fail fail) I wanted to add a quick note for 18.04 generation Ubuntu friends to consider as you are working through my nasty old messy post below: First, if you are installing a…
How to Back Up SuiteCRM using Ubuntu
I discovered SuiteCRM by means of searching through my web host’s cpanel softaculous thing – that thing that allows one click installs of ‘apps’ for your server. Over time, I became a heavy believer in and user of SuiteCRM. Eventually, I installed an instance for my company on my shared host and the company started using it more and more.…
