EDIT HERE ON THE PBWIKI
Yes, it's still under construction like most of the web pages out
there, but I'm hoping to collect some of the useful info I've
found on the web and the physical world to give something back. So
only some of it will be original stuff, but all in one place and
hopefully some things you haven't seen before.
Oh, and try anything here at your own risk meaning this is not
professional but peer advice only. Hopefully, it is good quality, but
how information applies to your life is your
decision, not mine nor the host's. You're not paying for this
(directly) and I'm not (currently) getting paid for this, but giving
back some things I've learned along the way, usually the hard way.
Or, in other words, experience not education. Someone once said
"experience is knowing what you don't want to do".
Someone else said that "Experience is a difficult teacher,
the test is first and the lesson after." Want to see
how the experience/education distinction relates to problems,
see quackwatch.org
To see if anyone (besides myself) is viewing this creation...
Maybe just search engines...
