I have been hoping someone writes the digital equivalent of a 'tidying up' book. How to organize your files (or how to enable efficient searches), how to keep track of your digital possesions, whether to discard them or just store them on Amazon Glacier, proven strategies for storing logins & passwords, etc. Preferably written for techies.
We all have some sort of either adhoc or (rarely) a well-planned system of digital organization, but having a nicely written guide would be great for some things we haven't thought about (e.g., useful scripts, clever tricks, backup strategies, etc).
I've looked online for tips and tricks, but I haven't come up with much.
- cableshaft 11y agoI'd be very interested in this type of book. I've been looking for some sort of community or forum discussion or even just the right term to google for ideas on better digital organization, and either I'm using the wrong term or the information isn't really out there. I've even been tempted to read some books on library science to come up with ideas for organization, taxonomies, etc, but I haven't done it yet. I have an idea for a small app that would help in sorting digital files easier (kind of like symlinks to a bunch of disparate folders based on context, with drag and drop support), just to make my own sorting process easier, but I haven't really sat down to work on it yet.
