Recent Acomplishments

Recently I accomplished several things:

  1.  Bought a Yamaha  organ for myself on 2016-08-27, something I've wanted Electone practically all of my life.
  2. Bought my first audio mixer, a 4-channel Yamaha ____ so that I can combine music from the organ and play along with music from the laptop (MP3 or YouTube) and not disturb my housemates.
  3. Got a 2-table relational database working in LibreOffice Base. The usual training example is to set up an order entry system, which requires 4 tables (customers, products, employees and orders). The one I set up requires but 2 (payee and cheque). It's a Cheque Register. And it works! I can locate a Payee and key in a Cheque number, Amount and Date and the database will keep them separate from one another.
  4. Sending files via BlueTooth from my BlackBerry device to my laptop now works. Before this month I could send from the laptop to the phone, but it would not work the other way. I suspect it has something to do with the desktop environment I'm running. Was running MATE in 2015 and since upgrading RAM earlier this year run GNOME 3 exclusively.
