I keep a notebook containing various gems that I have come across or 
discovered myself. I put each one in a separate section and try to make 
the titles represent relevant keywords. When I need it, I just search it 
with Edit/Find!

This may sound low tech, but I think it is usually more effective than a 
palette because there is a bit of context round the code. It is, of 
course, easy to clip bits of code across into whatever I am working on.
