I’m trying to write up some of the stuff I’ve learned, so I don’t forget it, or can easily find it again, or so others can find it.

I’ve benefitted greatly from others putting their solutions on the net. This is my attempt at giving something back. I hope my notes and scripts help you. Let me know if you have questions.

WARNING: Everything here is use-at-your-own-risk! If you use something of mine and it ruins your computer, it’s not my fault. I’m not responsible, and I can’t be trusted.
