finding There are two methods of finding what you want here. The first is browse the categories accessible from the pull-down menu above. Inside many of the categpories the links are grouped sub-categories. These links point to files here on our server as well as linked to the many other resources around and about on the web.

If browsing by topic is not your thing, then try the keyword search below. This searches the 370 tip files sitting on our server plus the 336 links we have to tips elsewhere.

Mac users can download and use our Sherlock plug-in (thanks to Zac Belado)!

If this still does not get you what you are looking for, we have a few more suggestions.

Again, this web is your web. It grows by what you share. So if you have the inclination, run over the tips 'n scripts submission form!
