So, YesBird just posted a "Digital Library of Mathematical Functions".

Which is cool, because I love that kind of thing.

However:
I was sitting at my desk yesterday, looking at the foot-tall pile of papers
sitting in front of my printer.  "Wow.  That's probably ALL POV-Ray stuff..."

:O

So I was just wondering, what does everyone else have sitting on their
Round-Tuit stacks?

(I'm sure my pile consists of academic papers, printed SDL scenes to be reworked
or expanded, scribbled notes and diagrams, transcripts from AI inquiries, and a
few key newsgroup posts that I didn't want to have to laboriously look up
again.)

My piles are mostly about fermentation, about 1500 papers on brewing Beer and a
tad less on lactic fermentation of food. They are stacked away in Zotero.
Alternatives, Mendeley or Qiqqa. Nothing get printed any more.

To my pleasure :).

I have no any prints anymore (except 3D-printed plastic models),
but a lot of Chrome bookmarks of different CG resources that need to be
cleaned up and ordered.

Also have a collection of PDF papers, mostly accrued from ACM
library: https://dl.acm.org/
at the time when I had access to it.

Sorry, no piles of papers. I believe that the computer was made to keep from
wasting paper. So that all my unfinished stuff is scattered over all my
computers ;)

Me too, zero paper. On the other hand, folders containing tones of pdf 
and web links.
