Took a break from actually programming for a block of time today to run through my laptop and try to ride herd on all the files running around on my laptop that I've been too lazy to clean. This of course means that I found gems like papers from college undergrad and DKP listings from when I was running Molten Core with the ol' Warcraft crew. (if that last part flew over your head, translate it to "about ... 4? 5? years ago". ) Which of course got me thinking... how long to people just shuffle files around from computer to computer keeping old things just because? Its even easier in the digital world to just keep shoving along those old class reports and hastily written word doc notes on a computer than it is to physically move old boxes around in real life and with hard disk space being the way it is today, who finds it worthwhile to police their Documents folder just to get back memory.
Or maybe its all just me, and the problem is I'm as terrible with digital info as I am with things in real life, keeping them around "just in case I'll need em at some point".
Overall, the whole thing was a start point for me finally getting around to implementing whats to be at *least* a personal version control system. So for now, time to dive back in to learning how to use Bazaar. A nice free system that seems to have features I'll enjoy. It can be found here: http://bazaar-vcs.org/
