I'm working on bug.gd, our error search engine. Specifically, we just announced/launched an experimental tool for (any) Python interactive interpreter. Whenever you run into an error, you can do a quick search for how other people got past the same error.

Hmm.. that's actually very interesting.. My way of finding out error messages now is just to google it and then dive through all the results.

I rarely share details, but I will for once.

I am working on version 2 of a simple tool for a friend that he uses for some contract work in the statistical analysis field.

Version 1 was a Java app and minimally featured, version 2 is web based, done in Django and intended to be a lot more robust.

Experimenting on a web app for people to "quickly and easily" share the stuff in their heads either with words, numbers, or pictures. Very vague at this point. Still working out some details.

Keywords: functional frictionless.

I am working on a kids MMO with a very cool spin on it. Getting the Business Plan and pitch worked out...

I am also working on an MMO. It's a space game. My spin is that everything in this game will be emergent. The players can design and play anything in this game, or it will evolve through genetic algorithms. I've worked out how to do most of this. I'm still working out how to evolve NPC ship AIs, but that's not the most important. Also, everything in this game will be scriptable. Users will be able to create programs…

That idea totally rocks!

Okay, you may be named stcredzero and it may be April fools day, but that sounds like interesting stuff. Do you have anything to show yet?
