I was recently poking around ~/.local/bin/ when I noticed that it had dozens of executables that I don't remember putting there. Mostly pyside things, but some other scripts as well. I really had to open each to jog my memory, especially about which scripts I had written myself and which were by other people.

The idea about starting my own scripts' names with a comma would have made the job go much faster, and I'm sure would have helped to job some memories about why each script was written, before opening it.

Normally ~/.local/bin/ is only for installed scripts; locally-written ones go in ~/bin/
Thanks. I used to use ~/.bin/ for locally-written scripts because I like that directory to be hidden, maybe I'll go back to doing that.
