Jack, this may be the saving grace which I was looking for, a categorised
bookmark library designed for the webdesigner.
I have lost all my bookmarks and URL database of useful sites after some
unkindly person removed all my equipment and files from sacred heart. And
its a nightmare to catch-up. There were hundreds of little sites with a
small gems which I found using different search techniques. Most of my
searches and referrals to sites, where on visiting, I never found what I
was looking for on the first browse, but alas, I nearly always came
across something interesting for later reference.
Marking something for later reference I assume this is where the term
'bookmark' came from. But in a hardcopy book using a bookmark is made
easy by the fact that invariantly one relies on the internal eye to
categorise your bookmarks.
How can this be done with the electronic bookmark?
A one second view of a Website will not tell me of all the combinations to
store a references URL as it does by a small quote in a book. The chances
are that after a couple of weeks its probable that the page number is also
stored in the brain as well as an exact quote from a book of 20,000 words.
How amazing!
I am sure there are a lot of books out there about super power memory where
you can remember 10 zillion numbers or shopping lists but, how come, nobody
has wrote a book on how to remember all those URLs that one comes across?
Yes, with the browsers and databases you can store your favourite URL under
a certain category or folder but 9 times out of 10 (or using Murphy's Law
as I am Irish) you will never look in the folder where you stored it in the
first place, and assume its not available. I have done this so many times
and asked the stupid question - where did you leave my socks, dear?
Keywords and categories are great but looking for something you really don't
know why or, don't exactly know what you want to find is relatively
impossible to set-up a structured search sequence. Do you know the saying
'You'll always find what your looking for in the last place you look'
yah - well why when I look in the last place I never find it?
Now here's a thing. I came across a search engine which I used
countless times to check Domains and associated FTP sites. I assumed it was
called http://amnesia.com but, its not there anymore or somebody is
playing with my computer refresh or I've got amnesia. I used this site
mainly to find associated domains and ftp sites with similar sounding
domains or where I can only remember part of a domain name address.
Does anybody know where I can find useful site to help search for domains
when you can only remember part of domain address or unsure of the domain's
correct spelling?
TIA
Lost soul David
