I put all my "important files without a better spot" under ~/tmp.

Actually maybe running tmpreaper on this directory would be a good idea
;-), although I don't dare risk it.

The fact remains though that I use /tmp/bam and /home/bam/tmp for
different purposes.

The point about /home being NFS is an important one, some programs don't
function properly with /tmp being NFS.

(then again, some programs debian/stable don't cope with NFS on /home
either, but thats a topic for another thread, most noteably Gnome IIRC).
