Another thing that has happened a few times is that I'm trying to
figure out how to do something I'm pretty sure should be possible, but
I can't figure out how. After the usual resources fail, then I start
Googling with varous sets of keywords. After a while, Google eventually
finds the answer in an old mailing-list archive where there's a nice
explanation in a post...

.... by me.

After I figured out the answer, I realized it did seem a little
familar, so I tried a grep -r in my home directory which has stuff
lying around from as far back as 2001. When a computer dies, I
generally just cp -a (or rsync -a) $HOME to a new one.
