Qualcomm Atheros AR9285 + Windows 10 Issue [Resolved]

So, I installed Windows 10 after reading about it and getting over the insane amount of data Windows mines from you. I figured that most companies do something like this and Microsoft just so happens to be quite candid about it -- after it was brought to light by someone on a site which shall not be named (I'm sure those of you who know can guess).

Be that as it may, my Lenovo G580 stopped being able to reach the Internet and I clicked on my WiFi was grayed out and could not, would not connect to my wireless connection no matter what I did.

Luckily I managed to resolve it through a workaround. So, if you're stuck then you should just follow the instructions. This should work for any WiFi connectivity issue (you just have to download the drivers that pertain to your particular WiFi hardware model. Mine just happens to be the Qualcomm Atheros AR9285.

Installing Open Biblio on Third-Party Webserver

So, you've decided to use Open Biblio the free online library system? But, you want to attach it to a website that you're hosting outside of your building (somewhere on the Internet). Why would you want to do this? Well, I find that in-house servers can be a cumbersome thing to maintain. You have to ensure that backups are properly working and scheduled. If something happens, and your server goes down, it's your responsibility to ensure it gets up and working. It takes up space. It uses bandwidth. I could go on and on and on. So, hosting it elsewhere resolves most of these problems. The most distinct disadvantage is it's advantage; it's not in your hands. So if something happens to your external server, then you're screwed.

When I was in college, I got a lot of jobs to help me. One of those jobs was selling knives for a company called Cutco. While I was there, I learnt a lot about knives, how they're made, what type of knife to use on certain products, and the reasons why that is. A couple of times I have caught my fiancée using a serrated edged blade to cut things like soft fruits (bananas, kiwis, etc). This is incorrect. I can understand her though. A knife cuts, so what if it's serrated, or not? And that is true. But I am going to go over the various styles of knives, and what they are used for... or rather, what they're supposed to be used for.
