Making user controls work in a MOSS 2007 Document library. So now front end people can just edit the control without re-building parts and re-deploying. It's actually fun :)

#154Same project I've been working on for the better part of 3 months, unfortunately: a web based chat using GWT to replace a flash based one. The primary reasons are: we wanted to control the source code and remove dependecy on third-party products and becase we want the chat to work on iPad so flash is out. Running into tons of stumbling blocks primarily around keeping the app near realtime and stable. It's GWT on the…
The client interface is up to you, but no need to re-invent the serverside part:
From http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0124.html This specification defines a transport protocol that emulates the semantics of a long-lived, bidirectional TCP connection between two entities (such as a client and a server) by efficiently using multiple synchronous HTTP request/response pairs without requiring the use of frequent polling or chunked responses.
Drop in an existing XMPP chat server (or write your own if you must) and you should be good to go. A lot of high-volume sites are using this implementation for their web-based chat services.

#156My SXSW proposal. I plan to present "Design for the Coder's Mind": http://www.kadavy.net/blog/posts/design-for-the-coders-mind-... But I'm stuck on the name.

Design for Hackers: Reverse-Engineering Beauty
Your subject "Design" sticks out the most with this one.
Or how about some predictably bad computer humor:

#157Working on polishing a new WordPress theme. I am not a designer per se, but it is very difficult to come across simple and neat themes for websites. So I designed one for myself and now I am giving it away as a free theme.

#158I'm working on automating slang term variant creation on OnlineSlangDictionary.com . For example, making the main entry "blow (one) away" also available under blow him away blow her away blow them away etc. It's an unfortunate tax I have to pay to search engines. Luckily it'll pay off additionally when I switch from Google Custom Search to a real custom search solution, and it'll be useful for a few upcoming special…
Are you using any parsing tools? Like the stanford NLP?
I am currently developing an API for the stanford NLP so that other web apps can easily use that parsing and word tagging tool.
Cool website. I like the idea of the "where is this slang used" feature.

#159Work: Tuesday, international flight to a customer to gather requirements for new product version - enough work for a year. Thursday, try to integrate WordPress and Facebook Connect and curse loudly - the architects who return either a userID or a WP_Error object and the plugin writers who just (int) $result without checking if it's an error.
Free time: reverse engineering a C++ game and extending it. http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/9215/devenv.png - IDA to rev/eng it, Eclipse C++ with a custom build tool to compile, Rose Tyler background just because.
