I worked on maps.bigasterisk.com (which is probably still broken as you read this). My plan was to add estimated arrival times to the map, but without ever specifying my destination. There would just be arrival times all over the map (but maybe not behind me, where it's clear I'm not going). I was going to attempt SVG-over-gmaps for the time display.

Then I remembered I also wanted a lightweight live chat for concurrent viewers of my web page, so I wrote that. Then I installed it to maps.bigasterisk.com, and the live chat didn't work. I narrowed this down to a problem with apache, since the same server and client would work without apache in the middle. Debugging the issue started taking forever, so I'm now considering replacing my apache proxy server with something else.

I also heard some praise for google reader and konqueror and offered some praise for mochikit.
