+Welcome to Richard White's portal!

+In fact the icon is a homage to Kurt Vonnegut's novel "//Cat's Cradle//".))

 Much remains to be done!
-Some pages have been brought from the [[https://ice9.uk|Ice9 wiki at https://ice9.uk]] which is to be decommissioned.
+This wiki also serves as a test-bed and gateway to
+a number of web sites and resources,
+not all of which are publicly available.
+((I am converting this site to a wiki using [[doku>|DokuWiki]].
+This will make it easier to manage and incorporate new features.))

+===== Computer stuff =====
+==== Uploads ====
+For sending big files to me (Richard White).
+You'll need a user name and password from me.
+FIXME
+You'll need an FTP client (a program for uploading files to a server).
+When you start your FTP program, connect to ''ftp.ice9.tk''.
+==== Rescuing Windows and dual-booting ====
+=== Recovery options in Windows ===
+https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recovery-options-in-windows-31ce2444-7de3-818c-d626-e3b5a3024da5
+== Things to try ==
+  - Try disabling and/or re-enabling Secure Boot
+  - Try the Startup repair function: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recovery-options-in-windows-31ce2444-7de3-818c-d626-e3b5a3024da5#bkmk_startup_repair&WindowsVersion=Windows_10
+  - Look in the filing cabinet for a possible recovery disk
+  - "If your PC won't start and you haven't created a recovery drive, download installation media and use it to restore from a system restore point or reset your PC.":
+    - Try to "reset" your PC: "Resetting reinstalls Windows 10, but lets you choose whether to keep your files or remove them, and then reinstalls Windows. You can reset your PC from Settings, the sign-in screen, or by using a recovery drive or installation media."
+    - If this fails, reinstall Windows
