When you come across an interesting article, or figure out how to do something with a new technology your messing around with, do you document it?
Yes. Not only for other poeple, but also so I can remember how to do it next time.
If anyone has a tech blog, feel free to link me up, would be interested to see what others are doing
I have a general blog that has technical content too: http://paulgrenyer.blogspot.com.
I normally document it on wordpress. I just like the way that it works and the admin GUI is more than adequate for me. It is all down to personal choice, which is another great thing about Linux of course, I just found the wiki way abit to much for what I was wanting, Drupal is the daddy as such, but once again too much stuff attached for me, I just like the plain aspects of wordpress for a simple site that I can document different things that I have interests in.
My site is http://www.codingfriends.com btw.
Paul congrats about the Daddy.. it is a great time :). I have a 3 year old and they just get more and more fun each day :).

For notes and other stuff I don't use a blog at all as, to my mind, it's not time related and the backwards sequence of blogs always worries me.
What I have done is set up a hierarchy of directories where I write notes in reStructuredText and serve these using apache through a filter that converts the reStructuredText to HTML.
This means I can compose all the notes using my favourite editor in reStructuredText which is an easy to read format but can see them in the web browser with menus, trails, etc.
