More curtis at his best.
I thought you were giving up Spiceworks.
It's like heroine. You can't resist, but it gives you diarrhoea.

It's like super expensive cocaine you go back for more.
The spice man... once you try the spice you can't turn back.

This is why I often find my self saving online guides as a PDF and keeping it for me records.
I hate it when a site administrator up and removes something, seemingly out of the blue.

That's the problem i'm sure I booked marked the website and copied the contents into a work doc. But I think over the last 12 months of re-installs (I think at least 3) I've lost them.

I hate it when I do that to myself, and seriously, who hasn't at some point?

that's why I've started posting the information of importance here on ML instead of just a link to the site.

That's one reason i've always thought of doing a blog type site listing things i've done and how.

You could use a microblog platform. Twitter if you don't mind things being public. Status.net if you want to run your own.

The main concern with having a blog - microblog, is you getting board/tired of it. That and it's yours. of course ML could go under tomorrow and the effort I've put in here would be lost, but that's much less likely with a site like than than a personal blog.

Of course finding anything here is only marginally easier than another major IT community site...

That's arguable - even if you have to restort to Google searching ML, it's all open and searchable. Hopefully over time ML will gain in popularity and will get more searches, more new members and more content.
A blog, unless you manage to become famous will always be very limited in size.

It isn't the "searchability" necessarily, but the findability. I've tried to dig through the detritus looking for specific posts/articles, and finding them is very time consuming. Perhaps I need to use the Advanced Search more.

I'll agree that findability is not great. But I'd taken a page from Scott's book and I try to tag all of my opening posts with meaningful tags... this has helped me personally find what I post when I'm looking for it.

Search is notoriously hard to do well. Just using our Google overlords is so much better.
