Personal Knowledge Base using StackOverflow Clone

A personal knowledge base can be a solution to properly manage your technical issues and solutions. I find myself encountering the same questions or issues again and again but still having to find for the solution. Keeping them it in some searchable Note-taking Application is not so ideal because I usually have no time to arrange these notes. There are even technical issues that can be addressed by different solutions depending on the scenario, so how do we keep track of them easily? I think, the StackOverflow model is just perfect for this. You get to register an issue but rephrasing it as a question. You add the solution that worked as an Answer. The next time you encountered the same problem, you can refer to the same written question and add some comments to the previous solution or propose another solution. There are numerous StackOverflow clones available, but I am limited to those written in PHP so I chose Question2Answer.

PDF Management for Research using Mendeley

Mendeley Desktop changes the way I manage my collection of PDFs. Before, I often have to manually rename each PDF after opening them, and place the in the appropriate folder. This is really a hassle for me because I still have to track which PDF I have or have not read. Searching also needs to be done using a third-party tool especially if you are searching for an author's name. All these hassles can be solved with Mendeley Desktop.
