Hm, side projects, I have a few...

http://localbeer.me (find locally brewed beer)

http://la-weather.com (what's the weather like in LA - still in _very_ early development)

http://imgonly.info (just the images from the Reddit RSS feed)

http://uberqr.com (QR Code generator/link shortener, _very_ basic)

That's all I can think of right now...

localbeer.me looks awesome! ...I always try to get something local, especially when I'm in a new place.

Currently I'm working on C++ container, because I hate the standard containers.

That sounds fun - what kind of things are you going for, and what approach are you thinking of taking?

Well first I wrote stack, queue and vector templates, but realized I can as easily write all of the functions as one template. Did that. Now I can use my container anyway I want and it can be safely iterated while deleting nodes. Though only problem I tried to overload operator= when character pointer is given to check how many characters in the data is and push them to the container automatically like you can do with std::string, but for some reason it gives me some ugly memory leaks, even though pushing normally works fine.

Just announced http://bumb.ly in another post today – think of it as a more elegant, fast quickmeme - powered by HTML5, Canvas, and FileReader to do some cool photo editing on the client-side.
