This is a public WikiWikiWeb for me to add, edit, and take notes on whatever I feel like taking notes on.

Expect it to be very messy.

If you're here to check out this wiki's new theme, look at pages with lots of text. I recommend such pages at HelpOnInstalling, WikiWikiWeb, etc.

I'm incapable of remembering too many little things in my head, so I've made cheat sheets. DotFiles contains configurations for programs that I use.
