I usually listen to the PM program on the way home from work. It's usually informative and educational, and doesn't take itself too seriously unless the situation requires it. On more than one occasion I'm listening and thinking that the subject would make an ideal topic to write about here, but more times than not the idea leaves my head completely. Last night was one of those times, and although I can distinctly remember thinking 'I must remember that one', I can't. ...although I can remember the actual act of noting it to myself. Very odd, and just another example of the strange ways the human memory functions.
I might have waxed on about this in a previous episode, but computer memory is very much like human memory. It needs to store the information, and also needs to know where that information is and that is where the above seems to fall down - I didn't make a note of the memory address.
