Mental Control+F Integration
I write software requirements and specifications. Its what I have done for awhile now. I am fortunate enough to have a mind that is built to do this sort of stuff and I really enjoy it.
For the first time though, I am in a situation where I get to step into the middle of a project. There are probably already over 1000 pages of documentation written and the portion I am working on is references all over the place. Well, right now I am in a frustrating position because I can mentally see the exact place in a document I need, but I just don't know which one it is. Somewhere in these hundreds of pages is a little screen shot and supporting text that talks about local items. I can see it vividly, but I can't find it.
So...I challenge everyone...take the coolness of the Pensieve from Harry potter and merge it with "find" technology.
I want to visualize something, take a mental screen-cap send that to the computer and have it scan files until it finds it.
Let me know when it is done.
Thanks!
