This is the hardcore version of the more common "Google for help on something and get your own blog post/Stack Overflow answer coming up"! :-)



Yes, and it's comforting to know that even these people need to look up UNIX flags from time to time! Not really surprising, but a bit reassuring nonetheless.


That actually happens to me from time to time and I've learned to look through my own blog posts for answers before venturing out.

However, the worst situation is when I google for answer, find that ONLY my own blog post has something relevant and it doesn't answer exactly what I need -.- at that point, I'm like, "Google, I wrote this, I already read it, why don't you have something better to show me?"


This happens to be about once a year. I always find it equally funny each time though.


Exactly my thought. This has happened to me once. It was hilarious.
