[WayBack] Pandoc is so versatile that you sometimes forget a conversion can be as simple as a one-liner:
pandoc -s README.rst -o readme.html
This converts the reStructured text in README.rst to html.
Pandoc is smart enough to recognise the conversions without you telling the formats with -f (input format) and -t (output format) explicitly.
If you do need to explicitly specify the format, it is useful to query which formats are supported as per [WayBack] Pandoc – Pandoc User’s Guide: specifying formats:

Sometimes you want to run a batch file from a Task Scheduler task. For that, the user under which the task runs needs to Logon as a batch job right. If it hasn’t, you get this nice error message:
“This task requires that the user account specified has log on as batch job rights”.
Despite being part of the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit Tools, you can still use ntrights in more modern Windows versions to grant or revoke this right.
As ntrights uses a hard to remember SeBatchLogonRight name for it and I tend to forget the ntrights syntax, I wrote two batch files to grant or revoke the Logon as Batch Job rights for the specified user:

When you roll-out new machines and you get Windows Update 80072EE2 to install updates required by some installations…
If you receive Windows Update error 80072ee2 while checking for updates, the Windows Update servers might be experiencing an unusually high number of requests for updates.

Interesting:
Rufus is a small utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives, such as USB keys/pendrives, memory sticks, etc. It can be be especially useful for cases where: you need to create USB installation media from bootable ISOs (Windows, Linux, etc.); you need to work on a system that doesn’t have an OS installed; you need to flash a BIOS or other firmware from DOS; you want to run a low-level utility. Rufus is significantly faster than similar utilities and it’s open source and free.

Just in case I need this ever again: WL-330NUL | Networking | ASUS Global?
Why? Well, I have such a device (see below), and somehow managed to kick it out of the network adapters list (it was “USB Network Interface”) and re-inserting it didn’t make it appear in the list of network adapters.
The solution should be this:
They just release new firmware Version 3.0.0.41, which work well with OSX 10.10.2
Source: OS X Yosemite problem with ethernet adapter/eth… | Apple Support Communities
That isn’t the full story though, as I had to follow these steps:
I’m using the WL-330NUL (I have a few of them) because of Is it my thunderbolt ethernet adapter, or is it… | Apple Support Communities. Though it does no gigabit (the WL-330NUL does 10/100 Mbit/s and 2.4 Ghz WiFi but it is a WiFi to WiFi router which is very useful for being on the road). I hardly need gigabit speeds and when I do, I can usually cope with the flaky thunderbolt ethernet adapter.
I also have a ASIX AX88772 based USB ethernet adapter that I bought way back earlier. That one has two drawbacks: a much longer and fragile USB cable and the need to download additional drivers. They are very cheap though, for instance at DX (plain, a, b or c) or Alibaba (plain, a, b or c).
If you want to use an ASIX AX88772 based ethernet adapter (most only do 10/100 Mbit/s), then:
For the future, I’m considering gigabit USB (likely future Macbooks don’t have Thunderbolt any more) based on AX88179 (USB 3). They are relatively cheap as well at DX (AX88179) or Alibaba (AX88179). There is also AX88178/A (USB 2, limiting it to 480 Mbit/s) but they are not available on DX or Alibaba.
