In organizing my photos, I've been using descriptive identifiers such as
"BricksWest-2003", "NWBrickCon-2002", and "BrickFestPDX-2004" in directory
names and filenames. These get the job done, but they're becoming unweildy
to deal with in long names like this:
talk-BricksWest2003-keynote-NTSC-Pixlet.mov
So I'm thinking of abbreviating event names so that I can name files like
this instead:
talk-BW2-keynote-NTSC-Pixlet.mov
This is purely for personal use -- I'm not suggesting there be a standard
for abbreviations. But I want to get them correct. Here's what I'm thiking
of using...
BF = BrickFest
BW = BricksWest
LW = LEGOWorld
NWB = NorthWest BrickCon (or NWBrickCon)
TSL = 1000steine-Land ("Tausend Steine Land")
Thus:
BF1 BrickFest 2000 2000.06
BF2 BrickFest 2001 2001.07
BF3 BrickFest 2002 2002.08
BF4 BrickFest 2003 2003.08
BF5 BrickFest PDX 2004 2004.02
BF6 BrickFest DC 2005 2004.08
BW1 BricksWest 2002 2002.02
BW2 BricksWest 2003 2003.02
LW1 LEGOWorld 2001 2001.10
LW2 LEGOWorld 2002 2002.10
LW3 LEGOWorld 2003 2003.10
LW4 LEGOWorld 2004 2004.10
NWB1 NWBrickCon 2002 2002.10
NWB2 NWBrickCon 2003 2003.10
NWB3 NWBrickCon 2004 2004.10
TSL1 1000steine-Land 2003 2003.07
TSL2 1000steine-Land 2004 2004.07
Does this make sense and have I missed anything?
Is it correct to think of BrickFest PDX 2004 as the 5th BrickFest? (That's
how I think of it.)
My only problem with these abbreviations is that TSL for 1000steine-Land
tends to confuse me because TSL is also my initials. Any suggestions on
alternatives for this one?
