My work environment.
Physical
I have to know there is a place for everything. It doesn't necessarily have to be there at any given time, in fact on average it's more chaos than organization but I have to know that should the mood strike me I
can get everything organized.
Virtual
When it comes to my PC's I'm a freaking
Felix Unger. On my main PC all files are neatly named and organized into folders by subject and indexed via Google desktop. I use a series of
virtual PC's setup for various sub-tasks I don't want cluttering up my main system. I have scripts that zip,
encrypt and
ship all my important files to offsite storage weekly as well as to several external drives located in various parts of the house. All pc's have battery backup with auto-shutdown/Re-start software. I run my own mail servers,
family photo website, and FTP dropbox.
