Personal - The "What should I waste my time on" poll

Since blogspot does not provide an integrated poll mechanism and I'm unwilling to use a third party thingy, you'll have to reply using comments, provided they work. In the (likely) event they don't please do not hesitate to use email.

1. Full, cross-browser, actually working (saving), widget-based CSS editor front-end with validation and context sensitive help.

   Cons: This, AFAIK, has never been done before, and should take many months to design, implement, test, re-design and re-implement till some semblance of satisfactorily demand-meeting web application evolves.

   Pros: Is mega-cool, and allows the artistically endowed design a site for the artistically challenged with green color deficiency (that's me).

2. The many years-ago dreamed-up but never properly designed metadata-rich fan fiction database (sans archive/hosting). It's a thing that allows the addict user to search for a fix fic using criteria such as: length in words, English/beta/proofing-quality, main characters and/or ships, movie rating, publication date, up to n-th book canon-compliance, beta'd/edited-by, written/co-authored-by, archived-at, etc. Ideally it would be literary-pseudonym/pen name aware (i.e. it would know when a FFN author, a SQ Prof., a FA celebrity, a Y!G listmom and a private site's webmistress are the same individual) and expose a really advanced interface with lots of neat client-side processing and web-services based backend which would allow syndication, automatic updating, authentication and auditing allowing in turn to make the properties dynamic and user-updateable (by privileged users/admins or public vote) so the data won't become stale without requiring a huge staff of fic archive prowlers/mungers.

   Cons:

   1. Is insane. To elaborate: I barely know enough to know how much over my head this is.
   2. In all likelihood, I am its sole potential user.

   Pros:

   1. THE learning experience.
   2. If by some chance it gets done, hosted, and people like it and use it – I'll be famous.

3. Something not quite as nerdy. Something people who actually have a life (whatever that is) do. Like read a good book (not about Harry Potter) or go out (*shock, horror*). Something which may, eventually, lead to “getting a theoretical date”.

   Cons: Is, like, hard.

   Pros: Is, like, something I should do before I turn 20.
