  1. Good Bioinformatics practices
    • Avoide spaces in file and folder names.
    • Be consitent with file/folder naming (https://datamanagement.hms.harvard.edu/collect/file-naming-conventions) (see project management/research data management [plan]).
    • Use versioning.
    • README in every project base folder as well as important subfolder (see project management/research data management [plan]).
    • Changelog in important folders.
    • Keep packages updated (important!).
  2. Caring for your computer and other devices
    • Use browser bookmarks to manage pages/articles to visit/read later.
    • Turn off (power off) your computer/device from time to time to allow it to cool.
    • Update core packages/software regularly (Linux - apt-get update; Windows - check for updates).
    • Remove bloatware (packages/software that are of no use to you and are not necessary for your computer to function properly).
    • Turn off packages/software/bloatware that cannot be removed from starting on Start up (when you turn your computer on) or from running at all.
    • Avoid food crumps on the keyboard
    • Clean your computer regularly; monitor and keyboard
    • Before moving liquids around your computer, ask yourself the worse that can happen… you could spill on your keyboard and destroy your computer
