My own web site, http://www.databook.bz, is a good example of creating a blog or 
personal database of some sort as a memory aid for one's self and making it 
available to others. Mine started primarily because I had to research the same 
problems, fixes and various bits of information several times over. In part due 
to the holes in memory caused by just getting older, but also because I do many 
of these things so infrequently that they don't get ingrained into my brain or 
muscle memory.

I would suggest that if any of you other folks on this list have similar blogs 
or memory aides, that you let us all know of their URL so we can partake of your 
collective knowledge and wisdom.

As in I could not remember the steps for a fix I had done a couple months prior for something.  So I went to google it and the top response that came back was my own forum post on the solution.  So I actually ended up googling myself sort of.
