I made InstaKenny http://insta.ericwillis.com two nights ago as a joke. It was one of those ideas you get at midnight that seem like a good idea until it's 3am and you have to get up soon.
Things I learned/found:
* AForge http://www.aforgenet.com is an amazing .NET computer vision library. I used the less exciting parts of it for image effects but the complete feature list is really cool.
* Uploadify http://www.uploadify.com is a great jQuery plugin for wrapping the file upload dialog with Flash.
* People will immediately upload porn and S&M images of the Giants' Pat Burrel
* I turned off linking to images if the referrer didn't match my domain name which meant I annoyed a lot of people who just wanted to link to images. It was about 3am when I did this and it seemed like a good idea. I wouldn't do that again; rather, I'd deal with the bandwidth overages if it happened.
* Short URLs are key. Who the heck uses a GUID as an identifier? :)
