Spent some well used time looking at Julia docs on SQLite. I wish I could say I just read the docs and knew exactly what to do. The docs did help but a lot of playing (trial and error) was just as important to finally get a working Julia/SQLite program. However my history with this …

Udemy course…small complaint
I like the instructor…but! I notice in teaching a subject he will often place multiple commands in one cell. For example at around 2:18 in lecture “82. Filter A DataFrame with the query method” he starts talking about the df.query() method but he continues adding two more df.query() in the same cell. My question was… …
Udemy course away from home – Pt 2
I previously reported that I had issues playing Udemy videos away from home. Well I usually use the Firefox browser, but today I tried the Opera browser and the videos played fine!
Manjaro…time to switch?
I started this latest Manjaro journey last December, so it’s been 6 months. Linux Mint has been my primary distro for many years and I still like it. But I’ve been looking for a reliable backup distro for years. According to my log I first tried Manjaro back in 2014. Then I’d have a major …
Later that day…Rust fixed?
I bit the bullet and uninstalled Rust by pacman then reinstalled using the rust suggested curl method. After reinstall kate seemed to be working, I didn’t try after pacman uninstall. After I saw the message “Rust is installed now. Great!” I didn’t really read the end of install instructions. Just started VS Code again and …
Rust
Wanted to play with Rust so installed via the pamac GUI. Successfully wrote simple Hello World program. Then autocomplete stopped working. I would type pr and it would only suggest print and not println! Tried a few more project type things and it reported rustup wasn’t available, so back to pamac to install that. Anyway …
Early Go problems

Also getting strange problem where the editor was deleting my import “fmt”, but a similar program wasn’t having that problem. And googling did not help. Solution was my source wasn’t in a …
Manjaro…backup or primary distro?
Linux Mint has been my primary distro for many years now, and admit I still like it. I find it amusing being called a noob, usually by some Arch user, while using linux for over 25 years. Yes I realize that Arch with 5000 YouTube tutorial videos, Stack Overflow and countless written tutorials that can …
Go!
Created simple “Hello World” program in go…golang. Normally this is the most boring thing you can start with, but something simple was good to just make sure your go directory structure (workspace) is working.
KDE Bookmarks & Places
This is starting to sound like pick on KDE day. Trying to figure out how to add quick and easy access to a directory I access often. I already had one on Dolphins side panel, so I’ve done it before. Anywho I didn’t remember how I put it there. Must be a bookmark. But where …
