Hi, I'm Richard Carter! I use this blog to document particularly difficult-to-solve computer problems. My posts are written for clarity and keywords for search engines to pick up on, so that the next person that runs into the same problem will easily find my solution here and have an easier time than I had! I'm forging a path through the brush, so to speak. So if you came here by search engine, I guess it worked! Enjoy the solution to your problem.
