How to open a winmail.dat attachment email
‘winmail.dat’ if you get it, is a result of the sender having bad settings on their Windows operating system in their Outlook Express email client. They could fix it and make it go away so you could ask them to do that (and you should) but if you don’t want to waste the time or brain power, there is a…
How to Backup your Akaunting Installation
If you are like me, you were attracted to Akaunting accounting software because they are one of the first nice looking and open source accounting softwares around that operate in a similar way to the ‘friendly’ GUI systems like Quickbooks online. I was so upset about not having control of the data and / or price plans that I decided…
How to Install Zint on Ubuntu
How to install Zint (command line) on Ubuntu. I was hoping this would work with a GUI but for the life of me I could not figure it out nor find the repository. It used to work, obviously, by a simple sudo apt install but I’m gettin the ‘can’t find repository’ message. I think it might only work for 20.04…
Importing Chart of Accounts into Akaunting
I’m now well on my way to investing my time and support behind Akaunting software but I feel I should continue to blog my frustrations as well so others can benefit, save some time, and hopefully help improve the code (most important). I had relatively successfully set up Company 1 (“Co1” from here on in) and Wanted to create Co2.…
HOW TO INSTALL AKAUNTING ON UBUNTU SERVER (MANUAL)
I thought I would install Akaunting the long and hard way rather than the one click install with Digital Ocean – which is probably the smart way to go. I should say that, sadly, after I got Akaunting setup I could not synchronize directly with my bank in Canada as it seems that it does not support the file formats…

You need to get the fonts…
HOW TO INSTALL SUITECRM ON UBUNTU SERVER
Suitecrm is absolutely awesome, free and open software to run your organization or business. I’ve messed around with various crm’s like Salesforce but SuiteCRM is just so flexible. Oh, and it doesn’t cost any money. Oh, and if you need help or other stuff you can just pay people to build what you need. I haven’t explored all sectors but…
SuiteCRM Post-Installation Housekeeping
If you’ve been following along any of my other SuiteCRM (“SCRM” from hereon in) blog posts, you’ll know that I’m a big fan of this free and open SuiteCRM software project. As such, I do my best to document things that are either easily forgotten or difficult to find online. Hopefully some of this is valuable to you. 1 –…
How to Recover Admin Access and Password from Digital Ocean WordPress Install
What happened: I thought I had saved my admin user and password safely in my password manager. Two weeks later after installing a WP instance, I realized I had not. Oops… Obviously the first thing I did was try the ‘reset password’ link on the /wp-login.php page. Oddly this failed. It would not send me an email, whether I used…
