When we were getting ready to move back to CA - May 2005, really – I kind of stopped trying to organize my digital landscape.

Actually, no “kind of” about it. I had over 900 items of various types in my Downloads folder on the desktop. And I had about 18 GB of data in my Burn folder (items to burned to a DVD-R).

The sad thing is that many of the items in the Downloads folder were duplicates – various versions of Firefox, Thunderbird and other applications I use regularly.

So, I embarked upon a journey to clean all of this crap out about a month ago. A lot of the stuff was data I wanted to keep and make accessible later, so just trashing all of it was out of the question.

Last night I managed to get the very last of it burned to DVD. My laptop is clean! Yay me.

Now, I just need to clean out these network drives on my server.
