Socoder -> Off Topic -> Odd Folder Titles

I've always created a c:\temp folder on my systems, but when I made Sheep Goes Left, I added a c:\temp\sheep\ folder.
I'm not 100% sure why, but it's become my goto place for random oddities.
Outgoing screenshots go there, as do any WIP music .wav files, and if I need to write a quick script to generate something, that'll end up in there, too.

I took a look at the size of my c:\temp\sheep, today, and was astounded to find it's amassed over 6.5Gb of crap, over the year I've had this laptop.
Foook!!

And so, I've officially added it to my SyncToy folder list.
It now does a daily backup, alongside my main dev folder, my server folder, and my photos folder.

Junk, archived!!


Do you have any odd folders, with weird titles that have lasted through the ages?

FWIW, Socoder is still stored in a folder named Oscarent\jjax\ ..!!

Not really... For temp folder names I use stuff like "guff", "pap", "thing" etc etc, when I'm done with them, it gets deleted, and I'm not one for backing up either... I wish I did, but never got into the habit and lost all sorts of good stuff over the years... I say good stuff, they were probably in a folder named "poop"!

I have two folders of such crap. One's called "Stuff" the other "Images"

The images folder contains millions of pictures of things I find interesting and that may be transformed into something game related in the far future.

"Stuff" holds everything that doesn't fit into the "Images" folder.

Let's have a looksy at what's on my desktop then, Hmm, nothing too odd there except for

    random images 'n' stuff
    RJ144743_trial
    EMUS and of course
    hot cosplayers

Everything else is pretty standard really
