Link to digital file
I name digital files using absolute name as I do for indexcards. In the picture, I show how to make time stamp with UNIX command to make time stamp name like ” , as example. Kevinmarsh kindly introduced me there is an application called “TextExpander” which enable text expand “ymd” to the time stamp. Using the absolute name of digital file, I can link the file to an indexcard, like
ref. : PDF 2006.11.02 Thu 18:02
Same as link between indexcard, year, month, date and week is omitted if it is made in same day : then it become “ref. : PDF 18:02″. To find a digital file on computer, which referenced in a indexcard, search with “20061102Thu1802″.
I usually link only from digital file to card, and not from card to digital file. It is enough for me because the card system is center of information in my system.
