Backitup :). The Photos failure was the year label missing, while all 
following years had labels. Strange, but Google lost me no photos.

Some more thinking out loud. Excuse my WOT.

A ghetto implementation of a timeline (a "coralized" message log) could use 
some chat channel logging on top of XMPP on top of any blob storage. A 
fancier version could use some MQ system with first-class logging built in 
instead.

A "primary source" is a device's authoritative message channel announcing 
when a device creates new blobs.
A "primary timeline" is coralized from a primary source.
"Secondary timelines" could track when I re-access old documents, like if I 
look through a photo album and open a thumbnail, then pick up another 
device to do something with that photo. 

To not loose blobs we have Camlistore's permanodes. I'd like to read more 
how they're built. Not on top of vector clocks? Git uses tip-of-tree, but 
permanodes are shared (federated, like XMPP?) to other camlistore processes.

Story: GoPro clone
This cheap camera keeps overwriting files, restarting its sequence on 001. 
But the timestamps are right! Usually though cameras riddle your backups 
with numbered folders and filenames since the camera user can't keep the 
camera clock correctly set up. If new files are off-loaded immediately 
(SD-card with wifi) then I'd discard the camera's designated path/filename 
and just take timestamp = Time.now().

Story: Adding photos to CMS or web 1.0 form
A typical flow is 1. snap (or otherwise source photo), 2. copy JPG to hard 
drive, 3. open web form file chooser and hunt down the file again, 4. 
archive or delete JPG file.
We could instead have a "File shelf" showing stuff on timelines. Replace 
2-4 with drag&drop thumbnail from timeline onto the "Choose file..." button 
(or similar drop-target).

Maybe this "File shelf" feature can be built from Pudgy. But file upload 
forms won't let me pass files by reference instead of by content, right? No 
HTTP PUT (here, take this URL to my public blob server) yet?

I'm hoping hash-adressed storage brings an end to worrying about paths and 
(running out of) physical storage :)
