Meta-Blogging Follies
I downloaded an animated .gif from Giphy, loaded it into the images folder, changed its name to something more memorable than "GIPHYGIF" and suddenly, it was gone.

I downloaded an animated .gif from Giphy, loaded it into the images folder, changed its name to something more memorable than "GIPHYGIF" and suddenly, it was gone.
It took me a moment, but I soon realized what had happened.
At some point I had loaded a .gif, also labeled "GIPHYGIF" and it had been overwritten by the recent addition to the image files. When I renamed the file it remained in its place in the queue, albiet under the new name.
Somewhere in my archives, there is a post that is beset by an utterly incongruous clip of Megaton being nuked.
Oh well.
Always rename your files BEFORE uploading them to mee.nu.
UPDATE: Less meta, but tangentially related: Pip Boy!

That's why I assign sequential numbers to my pictures.
