Owning and running a public site (gamejam.org) which people are actually (almost) using.
I've spent a week of spare time hours building and adding features, which has been quite refreshing. In my day job(s), I need to worry about lots of problems which simply don't exist on a simple site designed to serve a few hundred people.
So far, I've implemented these features:
- Signup / Verification by email
- Diary / Twitter style microblog system
- Atom feeds
- Etag caching (only used for non-authenticated clients)
- Chat system
- Screenshots
- Team creation, invites
- Polls, comments
- Member profiles
I'm planning to add a trust graph, file uploads and... whatever else pops into my head. I don't know where this burst of development energy has come from, but I hope it lasts.

Space is awesome. Especially when it is generated using Perlin noise, and some cool shaders. You can try it out over here.

Sounds cool...
what are you basing all your work on? ie. a particular framework?
I suggest you plan right now for upload overload at the deadline :)
It's all Pylons, which has worked out great.
Oh and jQuery too.

I get an HTTP/1.x 500 Internal Server Error when trying to upload an image to my profile. The error page contains this text:
{
"error": {
"code": "500",
"message": "Internal Server Error",

}
}
I'm trying to upload this image: http://foone.org/images/wob/FISH.png
with Firefox 3 on Ubuntu linux. My account is named "Foone".
