Yes, they are organised in subjects. But, they could be organised in
another way. There is more than one valid way to efficiently organise my
information and I should choose the one that performs better. My current
system is not good enough.

I'll probably follow Juan's advice. Which is very clean.

I know that hacking a script is easy, but it is even more efficient to
use an already written script if it was already written by someone. My
belief is that one of the points of free software is to reuse code as
much as possible. And I think that there is much more wisdom in this
list than in my humble brain, as Juan has proved.

Thank you,

Pere
