I know folks throw that hypothetical out there, but ... what is this 
"data", exactly? if it's a skype call, we've sort of talked about how 
that might work. if it's flickr photos, or facebook stuff, that doesn't 
seem too different. if you want to put something else somewhere on the 
ucla network, accessible via a "ucla.edu" name prefix, that should work 
too, just as if you updated ucla-hosted wiki or redmine, instance. an 
issue there might be whose keys are involved, I guess - does ucla vouch 
for _you_ directly, with ucla credentials of some kind? or does ucla 
delegate some new credential to you, valid for some entire subtree of 
ucla namespace? or do you have your own "wentao" credential, something 
independent of ucla, that folks trust whether your stuff comes from 
ucla, facebook, skype, etc. ?

just what is it that you want to "publish" from ucla's namespace while 
travelling?
