Have you tried bookmarking it or keeping notes ? I bookmark stuff which I think would be useful but then I dont remember I have the bookmark of it. "Every once in a while the page which gives me the answer is something that I wrote" -- Wow.

If it's code, I make notes in the code as to where the answers came from. If it's build/configuration, I keep a log of the changes I made. Which has proved very handy. But just because it's in my notes, doesn't mean I remember it. I have to know where to look. Yeah, I had a friend of mine point to some code I wrote in a StackOverflow comment. I had no memory of writing it.

  "I have to know where to look." -> For me personally this is the hard part.
