To Mister POTUS rDT and government website pals,
Behold! I’ve discovered two .gov websites that contain archived stuff via my favorite blogging platform!
- whitehouse.gov
- speaker.gov
I’ve downloaded the recent letters regarding SOTU for reading and reflecting. And as such, I’ll share my incoming thoughts, feedbacks, comments, whatever y’all wanna call it.
Unfortunately, the wp-content/uploads folders are created based on the year and month that these files are uploaded. For example, the directory for the recent .pdf files that I’ve downloaded are found under [whatever]/2019/01[whatever].
So when the user uploads several files with the same filenames, there might be duplicates!
For example, below are my modified filenames of these downloaded .pdf files:
- Letter to Speaker Pelosi SOTU 1-28-2019
- Letter to President Trump SOTU 1-28-2019
- Letter to Speaker Pelosi SOTU 1-23-2019
- Final Letter to the Speaker 1-17-2019
Notice that the first three samples are stacked up nicely; while the last sample sounds with such damn finality! Can y’all see the confusion when users have a VERY difficult time re-searching online for ‘key words’?
So I guess a good practice for creating unique file names for the clouds would be:
- Identify type of document? Letter. Address. Meeting Notes. Brief Meeting. (See item 3. below)
- To whom (with proper official title and surname)? Speaker Pelosi or President Trump or whoever.
- Purpose regarding? SOTU (abbreviate whenever possible). Referral. Request. Inquiry. Invitation. (See item 1. above)
- Date format? Enter the date that the document was issued, basically.
My personal favorite has been in the following Date Format style: Ymj-His or 20190129-123429.
So for the last sample, I would rename the file as:
- Letter to Speaker Pelosi Final Smackdown 20190117-1776 (Insert a rock music: “Final Countdown” by Europe).
Sincerely,
Flynn B as quality assurance control freak, or simply QAC freak.
