Tips

These pages contain tips about how to use technologies I know. Whenever I find myself looking for an answer (and finding it), I consider whether the information would fit here. I absolutely hate having to look up the same piece of information twice, and when I know I have done something before, I can find it again quickly here.

The presence of tips about a technology here does not mean I consider myself an expert. Rather, it means that I think something is useful enough to be worth remembering. The tips are meant to provide solutions to concrete problems, hence, completeness is not a priority.

Along with sufficient info to get a job done, I include abundant links to places with more/better/different information. This is my way of presenting the information - but for example, the GNU Manuals (highly recommended!) contain more detail than I want to include here.
