Dev & IT Notes
The following are notes for IT and developer tasks that I needed to look up and don't want to forget. Often they are just gists or snippets in case I need to repeat the process on another device. Sometimes they are fixes for one off bugs. If they didn't originate with me, I try to document the source.
