Burning Orange Trees

Jan and I spent a week in Auburndale.
Because of Citrus greening disease here in the area, people are giving up on growing Orange Trees. Whole orchard are being removed and replace by subdivisions. 

Prices of houses down in Florida are climbing. Some amount to block homes on small lots. 

Here are some photos of the destruction of groves.




They rip the trees out of the ground and let them dry out for a while

Brother Printer and Tomato Firmware -- Linux

I have been struggling to get my Brother HL-L-2320D attached to my Tomato router for months.

Let me start from the being. Netgear forced me to try Tomato. Their last few firmware Netgear were unstable for my Netgear R7000 router. For months of very little contact on the  own community site. The router itself is great hardware.

I've always wanted to try Tomato firmware, But the two step process made me nervous. It was easier than I thought. I even forgot a step (delete settings before install) and was still able to recover by just pushing the reset.

But when it came to setting up my printer on the USB router port, the best I could do was get it to eject a page with out anything printed on it.
 I tried:   (Just a few examples)
ipp://address/LPT1
socket://address
http://ip-address-or-hostname:port-number/resource
ipp://ip-address-or-hostname:port-number/resource

But the one that work I found after giving up for 4 months was socket://address:9100




When I installed Ubuntu Mate 18.04, It found it with a little coaxing from me.

Trying to go 10" --- Tablet

I saw the reviews for this 10" RCA tablet at Walmart. The reviews are great. It may be that people just don't expect much and that's why the reviews are as good as they are.

Be careful,  there is another that looks just like this with a faster processor. The reviews are not so good. And is about $40 more.

So far the JW Library seems to be faster than on my other two tablets. (7" Asus, 8" Asus)
I'll let you know how this tablet is working out.
