Every time I have found myself in this situation though, I end up in the docs. Just about everytime I'm in the docs poking around I tend to remember something I wanted to look up, or happen to read an entry I haven't seen before. I seem to always learn/refresh something during these times, which is always a good thing.
I think professional programmers should expect to spend %x percent of their time on improving their knowlege of their tools and %y percent of their time improving the tools themselves. Even under deadline. Insert x and y as appropriate for your situation; I like 10.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
