Introduction

You know how every so often, we are scouring the web for solutions to a specific problem, a how-to for a specific task, or simply some information on a specific topic?

Most of the time we find our solutions, how-to's and information, but most of the time it's scattered over several websites, blog posts, wikipedia articles and forum discussions. We put our answers together ourselves, collaged together from all these different sources, and most of the time it works just the way we want it to. This is largely regardless of which field we happen to be interested in at the time, be it how to fix our mobile phone, our computer, how to cook a broccoli cheese soup, how to knit a sweater, solve a math problem, or format a document.

But do you also know how every so often, we'll want to go back to where we found those solutions, how-to's and information, but seem unable to put back together the pieces we used to make the complete picture we ended up with? We'll try going back through our browser history (but let's be honest - we know we'll never find it among all the pages and pages of facebook pics we've been clicking through), we'll try searching the same search words over again, but somehow none of that ever really seems to work.

This has happened to me so many times over the years, that I felt it was time to start a collection of my collaged answers for my own personal reference, including of course the links to where I put them together from. This blog is meant to be that collection.

I know it will be useful to me, and I hope you find it useful as well.
