I travelled down a road that failed, but I learned some cool things about printing to PDF on Ubuntu that I think are worth logging and sharing for others. 1. Out-of-the-Box PDF Printing (in case you didn’t know) In case you are new to ubuntu and didn’t know it, basic PDF printing is already installed and working perfectly. All you…

How to set up Gitlab with Ubuntu Touch 2FA Manager App
I had been using Ubuntu Touch Authenticator app, but I wanted to try out the 2FA Manager app to see how that worked for me. The only problem was that I had never reset my 2FA stuff that I originally set up so this was my first time switching devices. It was easy, but it was also not documented. I…
Installing Prestashop on Digital Ocean Ubuntu Server
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…
Flashing Ubuntu Touch to your Pinephone’s EMMC memory
You might have already read my first round of ‘flashing 101’ when I successfully flashed Ubuntu Touch to and SD card making it possible to boot the Pinephone that way with Ubuntu Touch.

Flashing Ubuntu Touch onto SD Card for Pinephone Braveheart Installation
EDIT 20/06/19I have done a fairly extensive post about how to use BMAP properly so here is a link to my post.

Otherwise, you might as well just use ‘dd’ or other flashing techniques. Bmap…
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.…
