This is a disclaimer:
Using the notes below is dangerous for both your sanity and peace of mind.
If you still want to read them beware of the fact that they may be "not even wrong".

Everything I write in there is just a mnemonic device to give me a chance to
fix things I badly broke because I'm bloody stupid and think I can tinker with stuff
that is way above my head and go away with it. It reminds me of Gandalf's warning:
"Perilous to all of us are the devices of an art deeper than we ourselves possess."

Moreover, a lot of it I blatantly stole on the net from other obviously cleverer
persons than me -- not very hard. Forgive me. My bad.

Please consider it and go away. You have been warned!
