Comments: 
Minor things like webpage typos on the DECam User Guide and browsers at "observer1" needing to be restarted. Entire night had variable upper-layer clouds throughout the sky which made observing a challenge. Wireless (n0a0_south) is slow, and was down briefly (around midnight morning of July 2) and was also down at the AURA complex for a few days so I had to be outside the reception office to use the wireless. The various documents/scripts about DECam on the CTIO webpages could be made easier to locate (I never even knew about how to use or install the script editor until I got to the dome a few days in advance)
