How To

Here is where I put issues that I managed to resolute and ideas that I managed to make practical.  Some of the resolutions are based on trial and error and so having them documented is a way for me to relate back when needed.  Apologies for the "In Progress" status on some of the "How To"s.  You do realize that these "How To"s take some time and effort to write up and currently I'm super busy with work and other stuff.  If one strikes your interest, please send me an email and I'll be happy to continue the write up as soon as I can.
