Sounds simple enough but often involves mishaps. Please heed the following advice:
- strictly limit yourself to lowercase alphanumeric characters and underscores only
- this will increase legibility
- you will avoid problems with different operating systems*
- save your work regularly, about every five minutes, using ascending numbering and
easy to remember mnemonics:
- self_explanatory_descriptive_title_01
- self_explanatory_descriptive_title_02
- self_explanatory_descriptive_title_03
- mail your work to yourself regularly, so you have access to it from anywhere you might be; don’t rely on memory sticks
* Just to illustrate the problem: Linux, unlike Windows, will treat “Thesis.doc”, “THESIS.DOC” and “thesis.doc” as three separate files. Linux will also order all capitals before minuscules.
