Install Wireshark
Pretty much followed this. Setting it to run without sudo which is recommended. Couldn’t remember how enable after adding my user so rebooted…logout and back on not good enough. Here is the start screen (not run as sudo) as proof since Gambas mysteriously disappeared. The top interfaces wouldn’t show without sudo unless you set it …
A Networking Lab to go with Wireshark
I saw a Udemy course that sparked all kinds of ideas…Get Hands-On Practice Building your Own Networking Lab. This course uses virtualization to create a network. In the past I was solely using virtualization to test other Linux distributions. I rarely do that these days. But this may give me a more practical use of …
Wireshark
I noticed Udemy offers some Wireshark courses. Definitely want to look into those. Many many years ago I was trained to configure Cisco routers for all the bank branches at a bank I worked for. I was sent to Cisco configuration school. However I remember very little about it. Cisco engineers came in at the …
A short little Gambas review

So this would be handy to access small databases I might create on Linux in SQLite3. Actually SQLite3 would have no problems working with one million records. However SQLite3 wouldn’t be a great choice for …
Where did Gambas go?

Dogs, PHP and family
I always had a love for animals, but especially dogs. My grandfather bought me this book (see below) from Bennett’s Drug Store in Miami when I was a young boy. I bought many expensive dog books since then but this cheap little paperback book holds a special meaning for me. I poured over this book …
I’m cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs
I mentioned this before…just a reminder.
Amazon needs negative search option like Google
Searching for “analog electric clock” is that so hard? Apparently yes! Page after page of digital battery clocks, and analog battery clocks. I tried “-battery” but doesn’t work. Apparently negative search use to work. I can think of many hard programming tasks…but this is not one of them! I guess I’ll have to wait for …

Add webp support
Needed support because none of my viewers would work…only browsers. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:helkaluin/webp-pixbuf-loadersudo apt updatesudo apt install webp-pixbuf-loader Then change default program from pix to image viewer
