I often use a pen, got a pile of notebooks randomly filled with interesting and/or useful snippets of information that I can never find when I want them again. Must get them organised, someday.
No, I know where they all are, but the information in them isn't ordered: stuff related to one particular thing is scattered, not on the same page or even consecutive pages. A bit here, a bit there. A mess.
I keep thinking I should go through them, sort the wheat from the chaff, and type & print the useful bits - but I'm a lazy ****er.
You will end up with a pile of paper with gawd knows what printed on it.
You will be typing stuff into a file... you will decide that this file has stuff in it which should go into another file... you will end up with loads of files which you don't want to delete...
I have an old thinkpad which I hardly ever use. I copy stuff to it via samba and the router. It has a button you can press and the CD machine pops out and I replace it with a second hard-drive, onto which I copy stuff.
I therefore have three hard-drives with all sorts of stuff copied, or not copied. Actually, I took the hard-drive out and I can't remember where I put it.
i still use my trusty Hell Longitude E00001 with Lackware and a custom compiled kernel 0.0.00-0 dual-kicked with Prisonbars 3.1 by Will Hates on some 1 Byte DDR0 RAM and an integrated nShitia Sunlight accelerator noForce 001, and the trusty Lintium-2 by Dumbtel clocked at 000.000000000000021 Mhz with a full half-core -i7 CPU. The screen is awesome...piece of Scotch tape at 400 x 129 res with 2 dpi.
