Started out playing around with Python as a scripting tool. Have to say, it really is a neat mix of the kinda power and libraries I’m used to with Perl and the flexibility of a pure scripting language. Just for a giggle, I decided to re-write my C# backup script to backup some of my mac folders. Most of the language I’m still getting my head around. 4 times out of ten, each line gets a semi-colon.

A few years ago I was in my Boss’ office in Interactve Services. He was showing me something on his computer, and I saw that his filing system was a system of folders named according to the date. So he never had a build up of files in one particular place. I took this system on-board and modified it to my needs, and just thought I’d share it here. I have a folder on the desktop called “_today”.
