Simply Stu Go On, Get Your Goat Out

Friday 25th January

Just imagine if, tomorrow, with no way out of it, we all had to go back to 8-character file and folder names.

What would your mp3 collection look like?

How would you sort your photos?

Thank goodness for progress.

  1. Punch cards. Whatever happened to them? And having to learn computer language just to make your computer work.

  2. My MP3 collection would be pretty much as higgledy piggledy and unreadable as it is now.
    That’s what tags are for.
    Filenames like ‘[Madonna] - Beautiful Stranger (LP Version).mp3′ are horribly untidy!
    metadata should not be stored in the filing system rant rant rant ;-)

  3. I used to hate that!
    I’m still annoyed that some software still has to use a percent sign or underscore to represent a space GRRR
