Ice9 wiki (Richard's digital stuff)

Welcome to Richard White's portal! 1)

FIXME This is intended to be a partial replica of the wiki on Crinum and Drimia, with some namespaces only readable by users who are logged in. Much remains to be done!

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. 2)

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

Things to try
  1. Try disabling and/or re-enabling Secure Boot
  2. Look in the filing cabinet for a possible recovery disk
  3. “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.”:
    1. 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.”
    2. If this fails, reinstall Windows

Other stuff

A previous mis-configuration led to this URL displaying the following page: “Taxonomic cross-mapping tools” by Chang Liu, Andrew Jones & Richard White, Cardiff University School of Computer Science & Informatics (7 September 2011). I have included it here in case someone has it bookmarked, although it is now out of date and the software it refers to may not be available.

Despite the icon, this page is not about string theory. In fact the icon is a homage to Kurt Vonnegut's novel “Cat's Cradle”.

I am converting this site to a wiki using DokuWiki. This will make it easier to manage and incorporate new features.
