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?

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
