Bookmark Managament

Until Recently, I haven’t really used bookmarks as much. I used to just remember how I get to a certain page and try to backtrack there because I haven’t bothered to mark them.

That took much of my time, so now I have discovered the power and helpfulness of bookmarks. It helps considerably when I need to find an obscure article again (relevant to stuff I do/like), or if I need to go back to a great-looking site for inspiration in design or code.

Another thing, is that I am using x-Marks for bookmark synchronization between firefox and online, so when I’m using someone else’s computer, I can still  get all my bookmarks. I find the awesome bar in firefox very awesome, but I wish it had better integration with bookmarks.

Just speaking of organization, I really enjoy folders, drilling down right to what I need. It’s really hard for me to sort through fifty or so files in a folder, all unrelated, so I typically partion out what and where I need so I can find stuff again in the tree of my mind.

Using linux has been nice for this becuase Natilus is excellent, and one of my favorite features in it is the ability to quick-find and drill-down through folders using the first few letters of a file or folder, instead of one letter, which is hard if you have a lot of stuff in the folder.
