I just have a Notes directory in my home folder. I'll have a java.txt file, a linux.txt file, a css.txt file, etc. Then I just do a grep for what I'm looking for. I've wasted too many hours trying various categorization schemes, never being happy with any of them. Now I just grep all the files and don't worry about it. If I grep for "ssh", I might get results in my linux.txt file and my ssh.txt file. No big deal, I just grep all the files, and let go of the harsh stress of trying to categorize everything absolutely correctly.
