A couple weeks ago, I discovered that guest network performance was abysmally slow, copy-pasting files from host to guest (RDP) felt like it took days instead of the (expected) minutes! This delayed the commissioning of a new application, and it bugged me for a bit. Later on, a different guest exhibited the same issue; i.e., I could actually see the images it sent over being (very slowly) downloaded in the browser…
Today I received a PDF document, but there were two pages I’d to delete. Clicking the page and then hitting Delete didn’t work, so I did a Google search:
I figured it out! In case this is useful to anyone else: I just needed to go to the Edit menu and choose “Thumbnail.” Once the list of pages is turned into Thumbnails, you can delete them.

Today I was informed that navigating to a (previously working) Magento installation’s admin page was no longer working. Obviously, paid orders cannot be processed. So it’s pretty serious, to say the least.
Stack Overflow gave me the solution, but it’s buried pretty deep down, so I’m copy-pasting for posterity, from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18724995/magento-404-on-admin-page:

Again from “Computer Management”, click Action > Scan for hardware changes.
The wireless adapter should be detected, and then previously missing wireless network should re-appear.
Recently, I decided to download all my mail into Mail.app. I wanted to be able to receive and send using my existing Gmail account, but it didn’t work for me. I kept getting a prompt that Gmail was offline, when I knew otherwise. (Sending via mail.google.com web app worked, for example.)
After some digging, I found the solution in an Apple discussion forum. In case the answer ever gets buried (I hope not), it is related to truncation of the SMTP username; e.
I’ve been doing quite a bit of reading nowadays. Every now and then I happen upon good writing. These resonate with me, so instead of taking a screen capture, I’m re-posting here instead where someone, someday might perhaps admire (and go read the book).
