Hi Simon,
Great read! I use to keep notes and code snippets on notepad and little sticky notes but found that way too disorganized. Several years ago, I decided to create a little database for myself that would allow me to jot down notes that I can query. It's been extremely helpful. Below is a snippet of my web app. I know its not aesthetically pleasing but it was quickly put together using Bootstrap and PHP. I had to block out some of the sensitive info on my notes.

Anyway, when you click on a topic, it displays all the notes I've added to a specific topic.

Lately, I've been learning about Python and some other technologies so I've been utilizing Microsoft OneNote, to create virtual notebooks on things I learn, as I go through various tutorials. Keeping a journal and notes have been very helpful for me!
Thank You,
Dennis D.
