How is your /home/user directory organized

This is basically just a poll to see how each of ya'll organize your files and folders on your home directory.

I am not trying to pry, I was just wandering how you organize everything. I am in dire need of cleaning up my home directory and was just looking for some ideas.

Like pictures, documents, source files, RPM's and others.

How about this......

/home/user/Source
/home/user/RPM
/home/user/Pictures
/home/user/Documents
/home/user/Documents/Ideas
/home/user/Documents/Config_Files
/home/user/Themes
/home/user/Themes/Backgrounds
/home/user/Themes/Styles

Just an idea.

I have rpms dir to contain rpm's, tarballs for tarballs, installs for unpacking tarballs into and install from source, music for my music (it is organized by artist and then by album if any), misc for miscellenious files, isos for iso images ready to be burnt, downloads for all my downloads, I setup a crontab entry to run every day a script which moves downloaded files to appropriate directories.

Kick A$$, I will have to look into that crontab thing. How exactly does that work. What is your script looking for to qualify the file to be moved?

Sorry, not trying to change the post.
