I don't remember the article, but I'm glad I could be of help. I find
that even when I do decide to toss things out and start from scratch I
still keep my old projects archived - there's always some little hack
in there that's too clever to get rid of. I just pulled out an
RGB-to-HTML color converter from a junked project, and it saved me
from having to rethink it from the ground up.
