hi

I'm a dude who writes code and plays around with a lot of different stuff, rarely getting anything done. I remember my thesis advisor had a huge knowledge base that he kept inside emacs, so that whenever he learned anything that was helpful but likely to slip his mind later, he would create a quick little note with as many searchable keywords as possible, so that he could look it up later. As I'm getting older and my memory is getting (more) terrible, I kinda want to do the same thing. Especially as I set up new machines, I keep forgetting how I did something on an old machine, and it's a superbummer.

So, here, I'm going to keep notes tagged with 'ffr' (for future reference) so that I can search all this crap later. Keeping it in emacs would be nice, but there's always the chance that if I'm descriptive enough, it'll help somebody else too.
