I've taken to writing myself notes about things like that. It doesn't have
to be elaborate, just enough to remind me what the key idea is so that I can
lookup the details if I need more info.
Sometimes, I save the magic command line so I can cut-paste.
Of course, then there is the problem of remembering the filename for where I
saved the notes.
