Google Calendar - last weekday repeating event


I wanted to add a reminder to do my timesheet on the last business day of every month, but there's no easy way to do it within Google Calendar itself.  An anonymous post here worked perfectly:

Steven Occhipinti: Google Calendar - Repeating an event on the last <weekday> of the month


BEGIN:VCALENDAR
BEGIN:VEVENT
DTSTART:20120131
DTEND:20120131
RRULE:FREQ=MONTHLY;BYDAY=MO,TU,WE,TH,FR;BYSETPOS=-1;WKST=SU
SUMMARY:Payday
END:VEVENT
END:VCALENDAR

Save the above to a .ics file. In google next to other calendars choose import calendar.

Deleting networks on Windows 8

Manually added a wifi network on Windows 8, but it wasn't configured right.  Couldn't see how to delete that network until I found this thread that had this quote:

"This was driving me crazy today, there is no “manage wireless networks” in Windows 8, not sure why. So once you set up a network you are not able to alter it unless it is broadcasting near you and you set it up with the right security. Well I found a fix, if you go to device manager and uninstall your wireless network card and then reinstall it (should only take about 20 seconds) it will reset your network profiles, allowing you to recreate one that may be setup incorrectly. Hope this helps."
