    You've been racking your brain, trying to figure out why/how {insert problem here}. You finally break down and search the interwebs, and there's the answer... on your own blog... that your wrote a year ago. You have no recollection of writing it. :|

        I mainly blog about challenges I encounter, so that **others** can benefit from my pain. I haven't had this happen with any of my articles here, *yet*.

          It happens when I am writing a question here, and I need to do proper research to write an intelligent question, and then the answer comes naturally.

          I'd rather be phishing!

                  Nah, I don't blog... But something similar does happen to me often... 1) Encounter a difficult problem 2) Spend hours figuring out a solution and coding it 3) Try to move the new code into my common libraries, only to realize it's already there... With exactly the same name as I was about to give it... And has been there for over a year.

                  Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

                        Nice. What would be funnier is sending a thank you note to the author for his article, and then immediately getting an email.

                            I remember what I write about, but yeah, I often revisit an article I wrote to figure out how the hell something works. What's worse, I wrote a (Dutch) article on co- and contra variance with generics once. At the time it all seemed very easy. Now I don't understand my own article anymore (well, after really careful reading) :laugh: Whenever I see it I'm amazed at how smart I once was ;p
