How do you organize your $HOME?
mooism2: In addition to whatever Ubuntu/Debian/OSX puts there, I have    bin/ --- for scripts I wrote myself
    notes/ --- for notes from talks I've attended, or researched online
    posts/ --- for things I will post to my blog
    stories/ --- I used to fancy myself as a writer
    tmp/ --- anything that doesn't need to be under version control
    vc/ --- checkouts from other repositories
    www/ --- scripts and config for my web server

The whole things is in a mercurial repository.I have my web server set up so that `*.markdown` files are piped through pandoc when I view them in my web browser.
