You left out two important ones: howto's and google.

Instead of spiral notebooks, which I use only for very short term
notes (because I'll never find them again), I have a logbook mode set
up in Emacs, which date-stamps an entry in a date-named file.  M-x
add-logbook-entry, is what I call it (I hacked 159 lines of
add-log.el).  Then I type whatever notes I have in there, about what I
ultimately figured out that works.  Then, when I want to find it
again, I just grep the logbook directory.
