Jess, I do, and then I knew like two people and forgot to ever look at it again.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I've got one but I never bother with it really.

I have a bunch of video files that I've just been informed need to use "naming conventions to work within a Unix server environment"
Can someone point me to a simple breakdown of what such naming conventions would consist of?

I dunno. All lower case and with underscores instead of spaces?

That's all I could think of. Unix is case sensitive and doesn't like spaces.

Cool. As long as that's all it is, I'm good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, there are a lot of non-alphanumeric characters you can't use. Anyone know which ones you can use? Underscore and period, of course....

Oh, yeah. IIRC, underscore and period are pretty much it. No ', ", !, @, #, %,!, ?, etc.

Are hyphens okay, or will we need to change them all to underscores?

I think dash '-' is pretty safe too, but underscore when in doubt is a pretty good policy. Lots of filesystems on UNIX can handle all kinds of weird characters but who knows what file system will be in use.
X-post: I think you'll be safe with hyphens.
