Trying to get my computer files in some semblance of order
Rogue Six | Dec 13 2006
One of the things I want to do in the coming year is devise a uniform system for getting all my computer files in some form of order. I'd like to be able to sort them by categories, mostly, but whatever I try to come up with is too long and defeats my purposes... Can anyone give me some ideas what I can do? 8 Comments

Here's my setup: I like to keep all my essential work materials in a folder, organized by project. This includes academic notes and project support material. I keep this work folder synced among several machines and always have an up to date copy of it on a usb thumb drive and/or iPod. I'm currently considering putting this work folder under version control (subversion). All the rest of the non-essential stuff gets filed by type: MP3s, images, software downloads, old project archives, etc. Email is easy with gmail. All my email organization is within the gmail web app. I download messages to my home computer for archiving/backup, but I leave them in one big dump folder. I use DevonThink (Mac only) to organize my webclippings, notes, receipts, etc. I can also index any important projects/folders in this amazing information management tool. One of the best features: ability to import del.icio.us bookmarks and create smart folders of weblinks based on del.icio.us tags. » POSTED IN:
