Really Bad Names for a File.

[m-jean03]

What are some filenames you really wouldn't want your co-workers or SO to see?

For example,

lastnightsorgy.jpg

johnsonphotoshop.jpg

odetoadultery-poem.txt


etcetera...

1. How about -

resume.doc

cayman_accts.xls

boss_pix.jpg

iquit.exe :evilgrin:

Keep them coming. And hide those files, quick! :hi:

8. I'm doing pretty good

My folks are in town visiting, which is why I haven't been around here. Won't be getting rid of them til Monday (I kid, I do like them here), so I'll be back about then. How are you doing?? What's going on over there?? I hope all is well with you!!! :hug:

[BlondieK143]

9. Sounds like fun!

Hope you're having a good time! And if you need a break, you always have us!

I'm doing pretty good. Tired, long night last night. Have to work a lot this weekend so that kinds sucks. Other than that, I'm peachy. :hug:

stuff_from_that_other_project_2

Don't laugh, I subbed as a secretary for quite some time, and I've come across files - usually a whole directory of them - like that.

Also always loved these gems of informational and clear file naming:

11223344.ppt
11223311.ppt
14431242.ppt
fn3uy547iw.ppt
37wbfwktrh.ppt

you get the picture.

I swear, I've about killed myself trying to find a file that a boss needed RIGHT DAMN NOW and the secretary had both named everything in a bizarre way, and also had a subset of folders that made no sense. Thank God I'm a computer whiz, and know some clever ways of searching, or a number of secretaries would have been in a hell of a lot of trouble.

7. Oh you found those.

11223344.ppt
11223311.ppt
14431242.ppt
fn3uy547iw.ppt
37wbfwktrh.ppt


Those were my secret plans for... well...let's just say I disguised them well!!

BWAHAHAhaH!! :evilgrin:

10. temp.txt

I use this one all the time when I am feeling uncreative. It's hard to keep them organized later though.

11. I used to name files

....either david-dot-extension or stupid-dot-extension. Figured that was something I should talk with my therapist about.

21. The filenames I hate worst

Anyone can see them, they're not bad. But if I see another folder like this...oh, I am so glad I am no longer in the printing business!

The disk would always come in with the very creative name of "Untitled"--or "New Disk."

There's always a folder on it "To Printer."

In it is a PageMaker file entitled "Brochure.p65"

And an Illustrator file named "logo.eps"

With some photoshop files "photo1.jpg" "photo2.jpg" "photo3.jpg" and "photo4.jpg"

There would naturally be some fonts, but PC font names never make any sense--you should automatically know that a font named "alpg__32.pfb" is Stempel Garamond Bold Italic! (not the real font name, just an example)

C'mon, guys, would it be so hard for Acme High Explosives to name the RageMaker file "Acme Brochure.p65" and to name the photo of their best customer "Wile E. Coyote.jpg"?
