There are many tricks we learn when using computer systems that are only spread by word of mouth, and by experience. If they are things we do infrequently then often they need relearning. By collecting these tips together we can preserve the information better. The pages of information - intended for local use on our computer systems here at the time of writing, but probably applicable more widely - are the following.

• LaTeX Tips including preparation of documents for PDF screen display, formatting of slides with EPS figures and how to get IRIS Explorer images looking good.
• Debugging parallel MPI jobs using dbx - intended for use on our Solaris system.
• White Rose Grid 'High End Computing' wiki
