Ask HN: Weekend side projects?

My stale side project (haven't worked on it for a bit), a fun way to chat anonymously with other random Facebook users -- <a href="http://www.letschattr.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.letschattr.com</a>. If you want to try it, you'll need a friend to use it at the same time as well (or use two windows).

Pro-tip for those without any: keep an ideas.txt file. Keep it on GitHub, too, so others can use it.

Right now, a chrome extension for Steam, adds a bit of functionality to the store. Some extra links, prices from all regions, probably some other crap too.<p>Currently the goals for it are to implement and use redis in a production site, learn to make a chrome extension, and just to get another thing launched. Possibly also to install/config a server from scratch (on Linode).

Currently working on a Dota2 fansite with my brother. I'm really groking the usage of Mercurial for source control. It's really amazing.

Right now I'm working on a command-line utility for ripping albums off Youtube. It uses some music database APIs to lookup tracks for a specified album, and then finds individual youtube videos to rip for each track. Once a video is downloaded, it will be converted to m4a and metadata will be added to it as is available.
