Ewwww mac

I put them in my "papers" folder. :-)

>>4101407
how large is it?

>>4101407
One folder to keep them all?

That's a lot of entropy you are building right there!

Yes, I know, but I mean that's not the only way I keep track of them. You usually have the papery you're currently working with in your memory, I keep a file with catchwords I like in papers and when I read them etc.

>>4101445
no, the size of the folder. how many papers do you have?

I used to catalog everything in superbase 4 pro.

but I no longer run my amiga, and microsoft access sucks.

so I don't catalog things anymore.

Dude! You're reading Chaitin? I'm doing a project on Algorithmic Randomness, it's fucking tough going. How are you finding his paper?

>>4101327
Yup pretty much. Taking a note from my professors I go with the "messy desk" organization approach. I save every paper I read to my desktop. When I can't see my background very well, the papers get organized by area on a folder in my desktop.

Name papers by paper title

I tried that, but forgot the organization part and now have this clusterfuck to deal with.
