It's so nice to have a good system and never doubt where to find something and where to put a new thing.
I switched from our previous mess to Johnny decimal by using a python script that processed a table in an emacs org mode file. The script filled the rows in the table with the file and directory names and I could then assign a category to each file or directory and say what the script should do to them. Then the script showed the outline of my Johnny decimal system so I could check that's what I wanted. This made it easy to play around with possible categories for all my existing stuff until I was satisfied. In the end it copied all the files to their new home.
Thanks for creating Johnny Decimal.
Here is my script: https://gist.github.com/martinhansdk/de8b27934adf9580aebf2e4...
I got a bunch of hits, so time to change some passwords...
EDIT: fixed link, thanks jstanley

I have an electronics/IT background so building something so mechanical is a fun learning experience.
I can't get such a CPU in the right package anymore, so I'm writing an emulator for it which will run on a more modern, much faster MPU. That alone replaces the CPU, RAM, and ROM. The remaining stuff on the board is lots of I/O both analog and digital which I'm planning to replace with something more modern, like a DAC with 32 channels instead of the many chips and opamp sample-hold circuits that are on the original board.
