A problem I've been struggling with for a while now is managing my bookmarks. Every time I come across an interesting article I want to read, a good resource I want to keep, or a neat tool I want to try I create a bookmark.

Over time I have collected a large collection of bookmarks so when I add a new one to the list it gets lots in the pile. I've tried to create directories to keep "new" bookmarks or organise them into sections, but I always end up scrabbling to find them.

The problem is that web browsers don't allow you to categorise or search bookmarks so I can never find them again. Also when I swap browsers (which I have done twice this year) I end up having to migrate them over and set up synchronising between computers. This always removes the favicons of the sites so I have even more trouble finding the right link.

Generating a PDF document from a web page through PHP can be problematic. It's often something that seems quite simple, but actually generating the document can be difficult and time consuming.

There are a number of libraries available that allow you to generate PDF documents, but in reality they solve one problem and introduce several more. Packages exist as either HTML to PDF converters or allow you to generate a PDF by placing elements into the document.

Generating a PDF manually is not normally a good way to go just due to it being a very time consuming process and is difficult to test. You will probably have to spend time creating a rendering engine just for this purpose, and that will take time to create and maintain.
