For $20 that sounds nifty but I don't have mysql running on that domain
(yet). Neat idea though. It would be nice to be able to permalink short
urls to any page.

I've pretty much got this worked out now with the shorter dates, no www,
/pg2pc5 for page & pic number (maybe /p2pc5 ?) and a new top level for
favorites shortcuts but yeah I'm still gonna have some unruly urls.

will soon be:
<http://edgehill.net/California/Bay-Area/San-Francisco/edgehill-garden/Nursery/plants/07-20-07/croppg1pc0>
and favorites can be displayed in shorcut folder like:
