WTH…Thunderbird?
Copied thunderbird directory from Manjaro to Mint and Thunderbird on Mint gave this lovely message! No a newer version did not make changes…at least not according to you! As you can see both Thunderbirds report their version as 68.7.0 I really like and have tried to like Manjaro even when there were plenty of problems. …
Speaking of versions…and I was
Whichever way I query on the command line…is usually wrong. It Seems like it use to be prog -v or sometimes prog -V then somewhere along the way it changed to prog -version or perhaps prog -Version now often its prog –version or is it prog –Version? In the preceding sentence it’s hard to tell …
Thunderbird version confusion
With the latest Mint 9.3 install Thunderbird reports version 68.7.0 (64-bit). My previous Mint 18.3 reported its version was 60.9.0. Current release notes say Version 68.7.0, first offered to channel users on April 8, 2020. Nowhere does it imply beta or testing. Manjaro however reports Thunderbird Daily 68.7.0 (64-bit) So it appears to be at …
More Zoom thoughts
When it comes to technology I’m not a very trusting person. And I wouldn’t trust Zoom or most any program with discussing anything sensitive. It’s possible that Zoom tried to be sneaky early on. Bit since it’s explosion my feeling is they (Zoom)…I feel, have tried to address these security concerns. It seems that many …
Joomla developer?
Just looked at my LinkedIn profile and noticed it said I was a Joomla developer, WTH? I did one small project using that and would never say that…or even desire a job in that area! As a matter of fact on my personal web page I have emphasized for years my lack of web design …
COBOL employment irony!
Being somewhat older than most programmers today, and desiring to reenter the computer field, over a year ago I decided that perhaps my best shot was to brush up on COBOL, because I had read that there are still a lot of COBOL programs out there and many older programmers, have or are going to…retire! …
Moms computer
Installed the latest Linux Mint Mate 19.3 on moms computer, was version 18.1. Since I’m sitting with her all day, I took the time to partition her hard drive, as I have mine, separating root ‘/’ from ‘/home’. Hopefully this newer version will be more reliable than the old which frequently…at times would lock up. …
Mint 19.3
Wow…had to install vlc & Gimp on Mint 19.3! Maybe Mint has become a beginners distro.
Reinstall Manjaro
Reinstall Manjaro because of a Kernel panic at boot. I should mention that like Mint, Manjaro has a hold-up period at install start where it says “waiting for 1 module”, where it seems to wait over 10min.. This time I Clonezilled it after reinstall and 1.5GB of updates. For some reason many icons were missing. …
