So, theSpoke v2's bugs are slowly getting fixed. I notice that people's profiles no longer display multiple Tier badges where not appropriate to do so (Mario's profile came up with both Tier 2 and Tier 3 poster badges which seemed redundant, but no longer). Some of the bugs on the site (or parts of the site that are counter-intuitive in navigation terms) are sufficiently glaring that I'm surprised they weren't picked up in the beta, but that they're being fixed at all is a start.

I'm going to start my new project tomorrow afternoon; afternoon as I plan on being thoroughly hung over in the morning. I'm still undecided what it will be, but I'd like it to be compact and extensible so that I can write about it in article form. For instance, getting a basic model up and running, then modifying it to get extra functionality into it. At the minute, a light-weight forum system or content-management system seem to be my front-runners, if only so that I can play a little with ASP.NET. However, there are plenty of these about already so I'll perhaps need to keep my thinking cap on a little longer.

I could of course start my 'major project', something of a community site, which would involve some extensive modification to Community Server (subsets of which I believe power this very site). There'll be more on that at some point, as I'll need some UK devs to join in.

In fact, contrary to this point last year, I've a lot of projects I'd like to get stuck into. It's a shame it's my fourth year at Uni coming up, since my dissertation will take a lot of time away from community efforts, though I'm sure I can at least achieve some of my goals or make a start on the others to the point that they can be taken up by interested parties. It's a shame not being able to see things through to their logical conclusions though, so we'll see...
