Over the years for my work source tree I've developed an extensive alias 
file like 

alias cadesri='cd $SRC_DIR/newmap/cadmap/lgim'
alias cadmsg='cd $SRC_DIR/cadmsg'
alias cfs='cd $SRC_DIR/net/cfsd

My own projects aren't so well organized and it would be handy if I'm 
working in bar and want to snoop around in ../../python/django/bin to popd 
back when I'm done.  I used to do it but it's one of those things that id 
you don't use them somewhat often you forget the exist.
