Technical difficulties never go away, innit. There’s nothing like facing a problem you’ve had before, realising you’ve forgotten the solution, and being filled with regret at not noting it down.

Of course, these are liable to become outdated themselves. But hey, one day 1 of these might swoop in to save the day, and it’ll all have been worth it.
