Now that I'm preparing to write research papers, my naming conventions (or lack thereof, wrt consistency) is coming back to bite me in the ass. Yes, I'm certain they made perfect sense to me at the time, but I'm going back now, and going "Okay, where was that particular data set... wait, what's this file? No, that's not it. Why the hell did I call THIS data by THAT name?"
*ponders a few rounds of head-desking*
*decides against it*
*starts to chew through the important-right-now files, renaming and collating as appropriate*
*sighs profoundly*
(For reference, I have just under a gig of data. Some of that is duplicate I'll admit, as one program graphs beautifully but won't do formulas; another does formulas but graphs for crap. Still, I've over 1200 files... hell, I've done a lot of work, here.)
