Encyclopedic is a bit strong but I do have a good memory for some things. The 'some things' does not include names, birthdays, anniversaries, etc which has caused a bit of grief occasionally.
If I have read it I will often remember it even if I cannot exactly identify the source. This was real handy at university writing exams, I could close my eyes and visualize entire pages of lectures notes and copy them sometimes almost word for word.
That caused me a lot of grief once when i was accused of having crib sheets. Just a freakish brain I guess.
But I do have a bit of a trick here on CNCzone. If I remember posting a picture I can find it in the Attachments on the User CP page and it gives me a link to the thread.
Hu's idea to face, and do it without indexing the toolchanger is the way to go. If it is not possible to mount something after the parting blade you could mount the parting blade at the back upside down and have the facing tool in the toolpost. On the TL programming a tool to come in from the back is a bit funky because you have to have your signs on X backwards.
