It was my solution too, and I liked it, but over the past decade or so, I noticed that even when I remember where to find some stuff, hell, even if I just remember how to find it, when I actually try and find it, it often isn't there anymore. "Search rot" is just as big a problem as link rot.

As for being still alive, by that measure hardly anything anyone does is important in the modern world. It's pretty hard to fail at thinking or remembering so badly that it becomes a life-or-death thing.
