Searching your own information
October 11, 2007 | 2:41 pmDo you ever make the same mistake twice? I do. Sometimes it is embarrassing. Have you ever resumed a project that was halted 6 months ago? I have. To help my failing memory I make personal log of lessons learned generally and per project. I jot down a few notes and describe the problem and the solution clearly enough so that I will understand it a year later. I also try to take personal notes of the background of decisions made in projects.
And how do you find your way in your own gigabytes of data? I use a Desktop Search Programs that is called Copernic. It is a nice, small program that silently indexes the content of your laptop when the computer is resting and it gives you search results fast as the lightning. There is also a Google Desktop Search Program, but Copernic is much better.
