Re: Information Security Knowledge Overload - Swimming in a sea of whitepapers.

This may seem overly anal, but I recently ran into the same problem with all
of my ebooks, papes and all that jazz.

One day, I finally hunkered down and created a lot of topic folders and
renamed all of my docs in plain terms that I would understand.

Now as I sift through the directories, I have no problems digging into the
topic folders and finding the right docs at the right time.

Did it take me a while?  In my technical books alone, I was over 1 1/2 gigs
of info, so yeah :o)  It was worth the time though.  I made a CD library
structured the same way for when I'm on the road.  I just named the master
directory "Technical Library".

Maybe it's a hard way of doing it, but it worked for me and my frustration
is lifted.

Good luck partner, believe me, I felt your pain just last week :o)
