Help Guide

This is written for Gabriela to use when something isn't working and Daniel isn't available.

You don't need to understand how any of this works. Just follow the steps.

😎 First — Stay Cool Gabriela

  • Most problems are minor and fixable.
  • If something stops working, it sometimes starts again on its own after a few minutes, or will after a simple restart.
  • Be patient, some things take time to load when restarted.
  • If the internet is available and devices are on I should be able to help remotely.
  • However this guide is intended to allow you to fix most things yourself if you don't want to wait or if I'm uncontactable.

  • You shouldn't break anything too badly by methodically following the steps in this guide. Just don't randomly push buttons, pull cables or change settings.

  • Remember I love you! ❤️

Tip: Type the full address including http:// the first time — so: http://gabriela.home — otherwise the browser will search for it instead of going there.

Tip for docs.home: Same as above — type http://docs.home in full the first time.
