What's everybody working on right now? I'll start:
I'm putting together a quick custom todo list app to organize my main project, because I'm not happy with the vanilla one in Basecamp.
What about you?

#2Improving HN's performance. Voting is horribly expensive. That wasn't a problem originally but it's starting to become one now that there are so many users.

#3Got an email from Microsoft -- I discovered a new bug in their F# compiler that breaks my startup app. I'm the first to find this fairly significant bug. I should be so proud.
So now I'm deciding how best to hack up my code to get around the bug.
Can't say I'm very happy about where I am, but I'll get it fixed soon enough.
It's very cool being on the cutting edge, as long as you don't bleed too much!

#5I'm working on a Flash game using Flixel for a contest on Newgrounds. There haven't been many submissions so I'm basically just trying to get it done by the deadline :)

#7Reviewing the more esoteric Category Theory bits of Haskell.
A (commercial) Haskell + C project kicks off on March 4th.
I am looking forward to my first major project in Haskell but it will be hectic once it starts and I won't have too much time for lazing around or reading :-(.
Enjoying the last few days of peace :-)

#8I finished up a lexical analyzer I was writing in Ruby for a pascal variant we're using throughout the semester in my Compilers class.
Now it's done and submitted, so time to relax and have a cup of tea before I start considering writing the parser.

#9Creating marketing brochures with html, so that I can use css to create a consistent feel across all of them. There's probably a much better way to do this, but I need them for next week.
To do it, I'm using webkit2png to make a png from the html page, and prawn to automatically put the png into a pdf. The whole thing is 6 lines of ruby (which uses python, then prawn), and it's working well so far, but I've had to fuss with the scaling so that it prints without pixelating.

#10Trying to catch up on way too much Elance work while watching the Olympics... oh and watching Lost that I missed the other day.
