                   I've been doing this for thirteen years

As I was reading about the expression problem [1], I couldn't help but think
it sounded very familiar. And then it hit me, I wrote about this nine years
ago [2].

This might be another reason why I took some time off [3]—I've already
written about a lot of stuff.

Twice this year, I've wanted to write about some topic, only to find I've
already written about said topic. For instance, there's this silly [4] series
[5] about [6] solving [7] sudoku problems [8] that I've written about before
[9] (seriously—I thought this was satire at first, until I realized that this
was a serious article by Ron Jeffries, who is a consultant selling this
programming methodology).

The second came about because of the alarm clock incident [10] where I was
reminded of this weird dream I once had [11].

It's sometimes hard to come up with new material.
