Useful tool for searching your own LJ

I got friended by someone on Twitter this morning, and couldn't see any obvious linkage between us. I knew there was a tool for finding people in common between two twitter accounts, and that I originally found out about it on a post in my LJ, but I was darned if I could remember where it was.
So I grabbed my copy of LJArchive, updated my archive to include the last few weeks of LJ post and comments, and then typed "Twitter" into the search box. I instantly had a list of all the posts which either had that word in them directly, or had them in the comments. And one of them, indeed, had a link to the site I wanted (here).

I finally got around to sorting my icons out recently, now I just need to remember not to post posts with icons I don't have on LJ, then it all works fine.

Heck, at work I frequently get assigned repetitive tasks because my boss knows that I'll have automated them by the end of the day.
