Just wanted to let the more intrepid Lifeblog users know that the Lifeblog files and data are not hidden by the application. The database is there for you to browse (if you know what you are doing) and the data files and thumbnails are also equally available in an easy to understand and consistent file structure.

I have already spoken with a few folks who have discovered these neat little things and have begun thinking of what they could do, such as scripts for posting to their own blog or to do back ups or other manipulations.

If you do come up with a hack for Lifeblog, let me know by commenting here. I’d like to check it out and make it available to others (with your permission, of course).

Of course, none of these hacks are supported (I need to say that, since I work on the Lifeblog team). Mess around at your own risk!

Christian Lindholm has put up a list of things to do with Lifeblog. He’s the leader of the team and like the rest of us, has become a big user of Lifeblog.

Here’s a synopsis, go to his site for the full text:

• You can use the beta to import all your old photos and create a timeline of them.
• Use it as a people diary, annotating pictures of those you meet.
• Use it as a “project record”, photographing a project as you go along.
• Lifeblog will organize it for you.
• Use it as a visual diary, photographing things you want to remember.
